(NOTE: The exact number of First Prizes will depend on the number of innings of the game on August 23, 2002, which will be known by August 17, 2002. If a double header has been scheduled due to a prior rain out, then the game on August 23, 2002 will last only seven innings, and seven (7) First Prizes will be awarded.) In addition, one (1) Grand Prize may be awarded, consisting of $10,000. The Grand Prize winner will be determined as follows: Before the game on August 23, 2002, each eligible First Prize winner will be randomly assigned an inning (from 1 to 7 or 9, depending upon the number of innings being played that day) during which, if back to back home runs are scored by two consecutive hitters from the Portland Sea Dogs, the First Prize winner who was assigned the inning in which such back to back home runs are first scored will win the Grand Prize. The First Prize winners must be able to attend the game on August 23, 2002 in order to be eligible to win the Grand Prize. First Prize winners must arrive at the Hadlock Field Ball Park on game day by the time and at the location specified by the sponsors or forfeit their eligibility to win the Grand Prize (time and location to be announced by sponsors upon notification to First Prize winners.) If back to back home runs by the Portland Sea Dogs occur, the First Prize winner who was assigned that particular inning in which the first series of such back to back home runs occur will be declared the Grand Prize winner. Once the Grand Prize winner is declared, the sweepstakes is over and those remaining First Prize winners whose inning had yet to be played are no longer eligible to win the Grand Prize in the event another series of back to back home runs are made by the Portland Sea Dogs in subsequent innings. In the event there are no back to back home runs by the Portland Sea Dogs, the Grand Prize will not be awarded. If the game is postponed due to inclement weather, sponsors reserve the right to postpone the contest to a date to be determined at sponsors' discretion. (Note: If on the day of the game two games are being played, the contest for the Grand Prize will occur during the first game.) Winners are responsible for paying all costs and expenses related to the prizes that are not specifically mentioned, including but not limited to taxes, transportation, parking, gratuities, and food and beverages not otherwise included in prize packages. The retail value of each First Prize is approximately $50; the value of the Grand Prize, if awarded, is $10,000. Exact location of seats at the game is at the discretion of the sponsors
