6 HOW A COMPETITION WILL BE JUDGED
6.1 The Promoter will appoint a panel of judges (a “Panel”) to determine which pixel in the photograph the Panel considers to be the most likely position for the center of the ball (the “Panel Pixel”). The Panel may choose the Panel Pixel before or after the Closing Date. If the Panel selects the Panel Pixel before the Closing Date, the details of the Panel Pixel will be encrypted and stored securely on the Promoter’s database. If the Panel Pixel has not been selected before the Closing Date, the Panel will select the Panel Pixel within 14 days of the Closing Date. The decision of the Panel is final and binding and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into regarding their decision.
6.2 Within 14 days of the Closing Date, the location of the Panel Pixel will be compared against each Entry, to calculate the distance of the chosen pixel of each Entry from the Panel Pixel.
6.3 The winner of the Main Prize (the “Main Prize Winner”), will be the Participant whose Entry included the same pixel as the Panel Pixel, or if no Participant’s Entry included the Panel Pixel, the Entry which the Promoter determines to be closest to the Panel Pixel will be the winner.

6.5 Any Participant awarded a Prize in accordance with 6.4.2 or 6.4.3 shall be referred to as a “Runner Up”. Any Prize awarded in accordance with 6.4.2 or 6.4.3 shall be referred to as a “Runner Up Prize”.
