Sponsor reserves the right to modify or terminate the Promotion at any time.

To enter, a completed form must be received no later than noon on the Wednesday prior to the scheduled time for kickoff of the next regularly scheduled game. Participants need not attend the game, nor otherwise respond before or during the game. At noon, on the Wednesday before each game, the Contest Official will select one (1) person from the pool of accumulated eligible entries to be the Contestant for the game.

Any prize shall be forfeited if a Contestant fails to respond within six (6) months. The Contestant shall not be eligible for participation in the remaining eligible games for the 2010 season.
7. How to Win: For each eligible game, the game’s Contestant will win the Grand Prize each time, during one official play, an Arizona Cardinal player blocks the opposing team’s punt and, without any intervening fumble by the Cardinals and recovery by the punting team, any Arizona Cardinal player scores a touchdown. The same player need not both block the punt and score the touchdown, but there must be both a blocked punt and touchdown scored on the same play with each counted as an official NFL statistic. If an eligible punt/touchdown combination is nullified by a penalty or any other official reason that play shall be deemed ineligible. A touchdown scored by the punting team shall not make the Contestant eligible for the Grand Prize. Prizes are not cumulative. If a Grand Prize is not won, the only prize awarded for the game will be a Consolation Prize.
8. Odds on Wining: Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received.
9. Grand Prize: If an Arizona Cardinal player scores a touchdown by the result of an Arizona Cardinal player blocking a punt on the same play, the Contestant will win a Grand Prize of $5,000.00 that may be used toward payment for a bathroom remodel or installation of an air conditioning system by an APACC contractor. The Grand Prize winner may solicit bids from any APACC contractors and choose which APACC contractor will perform the work and at what price. The Contestant may keep any differential between the prize amount and the cost of the project.
