By purchasing a ticket, you represent that you meet all of the below-stated requirements and agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Sponsor and/or its representatives.

1. THE RAFFLE: Each Raffle during a Glacier Range Riders game at Glacier Bank Park, located at 25 McDermott Lane, Kalispell, Montana (the “Venue”) is a charitable raffle. For each Raffle, the Participant (as defined below) who purchased the winning Raffle ticket will receive fifty percent (50%) of the gross raffle ticket sales proceeds from that Raffle, less any applicable income tax withholding requirements (the “Prize”). The other fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds from each Raffle shall be retained by Sponsor to be used for charitable purposes.

ELIGIBILITY: Each Raffle is only open to natural persons who: (i) are eighteen (18) years of age or older as of the date of such person’s purchase of the Raffle ticket(s), (ii) have not purchased $5,000 or more in Raffle tickets in a single calendar year, and (iii) are not an Excluded Person (as defined below) (each a “Participant”). A Participant is a single natural person and cannot be a group of two or more natural persons. Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion, including the sole discretion of its agents, representatives, and/or volunteers, to disqualify any individual from participating in any Raffle or to win any Prize if that individual: violates these Official Rules; tampers or attempts to tamper with the ticketing process or the operation of any Raffle; re-sells, purchases, or receives a Raffle ticket in violation of these Official Rules; or acts in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. An “Excluded Person” shall mean: (i) a Raffle Volunteer (as defined below); (ii) employees, agents, representatives, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, and the immediate families and household members of any such directors, officers, shareholders, partners, or members of Sponsor, Ridge Run Baseball, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Club”), Ridge Run Operator, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Volunteer Organization (as defined below); and (iii) any other person who’s winning of a Prize may constitute private inurement under IRC 501(c)(3) and/or the regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to Sponsor or the Volunteer Organization. A “Raffle Volunteer” shall mean an individual who volunteers to help sell Raffle tickets at a Raffle. A “Volunteer Organization” shall mean a registered 501(c)(3) public charity who volunteers to help sell Raffle tickets at a Raffle.

3. ENTRY:  A Participant may enter a Raffle by agreeing to be bound by these Official Rules and purchasing Raffle ticket(s). Raffle ticket(s) must be purchased in person from uniformed Raffle sales volunteers circulating in or around the Venue. Raffle tickets must be purchased in cash and may be purchased for five dollars ($5) per ticket. A Participant may not purchase more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) of Raffle tickets in a single calendar year. All amounts are in United States Dollars. For each Raffle, the time during which Raffle tickets may be purchased is from the time the Venue gates open to fans for a Glacier Range Rider game through the seventh (7th) inning of the game, unless, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, a shorter period is announced on the scoreboard of the Venue (the “Raffle Period”).  All Raffle ticket purchases must be completed by the end of the applicable Raffle Period. The purchase of a Glacier Range Riders game ticket or any other item is not required to enter any Raffle. Participant need not be present to win.

4. TRANSFER OF RAFFLE TICKET: Raffle tickets may not be resold, or permitted by a Participant to be resold. Any Raffle ticket which has been resold in violation of these Official Rules shall be void, and such Raffle ticket numbers shall be ineligible to win.

5. DRAWING:  A single Raffle ticket number shall be randomly selected from all eligible Raffle ticket numbers sold during each Raffle Period. The random selection will be conducted by Sponsor or its designee whose decision is final and binding. The drawing will be held at the Venue after the conclusion of the Raffle Period and the winning Raffle ticket will be announced on the scoreboard of the Venue sometime during the ninth (9) inning of the game on the same day as the Raffle Period (the “Raffle Drawing”). The winning Raffle ticket number in each Raffle will also be posted on Sponsor’s website at https://gorangeriders.com/information/50-50_Raffle within forty-eight (48) hours of the respective Raffle Drawing.

6. CLAIMING A PRIZE:

a. To claim the Prize, the holder of the randomly selected winning Raffle ticket number (a “Prize Claimant”) shall email information@gorangeriders.com with a photo of the winning ticket for additional information on documentation needed and how to present the ticket for verification. The purchased Raffle ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming a Prize and must be redeemed in person. Sponsor is not responsible for: (i) Raffle tickets which are stolen, lost, damaged, illegible, given away or no longer in the purchaser’s possession; or (ii) Raffle tickets that have been or may have been tampered with or re-sold in violation of these Official Rules.

b. Each Prize Claimant must provide Sponsor with all information and execute all documentation required to claim a prize as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion (including, without limitation, eligibility and tax identification information). The Prize Claimant shall be required to execute a Declaration of Eligibility (“Declaration”) in the form approved by Sponsor, IRS Form 5754, and IRS Form W-9 (or, if applicable, W-8) prior to receipt of the Prize, and/or any other forms as may be reasonably required by Sponsor (collectively, “Verification Paperwork”). In the event that a Prize Claimant either: (i) does not notify Sponsor in accordance with section 6(a) above within thirty (30) calendar days of the drawing; (ii) is ruled ineligible for any reason; (iii) refuses the Prize; or (iv) does not return all of the Verification Paperwork within thirty (30) calendar days of Prize Claimant’s email receipt of the request for Verification Paperwork, then, in each such event, the Prize will be forfeited and will be retained by Sponsor for its charitable purposes. Sponsor has no obligation and is not in a position to contact holders of potential winning ticket numbers.

c. Sponsor’s decision concerning the identity of any Prize Claimant is final and binding. Sponsor shall use the following rules to determine the identity of any Prize Claimant: (i) Sponsor shall conclusively presume that the person who is in possession of that Raffle ticket is the lawful owner of that Raffle ticket and that ticket’s winning number; and (ii) Sponsor shall not make, nor have any duty to make, any inquiry whatsoever into the circumstances under which that person came into possession of such winning Raffle ticket. In the unlikely event that an error or problem in the administration of the Raffle results in two (2) or more Raffle ticket purchasers holding winning Raffle tickets that contain identical ticket numbers, then the Prize shall be split equally amongst the Prize Claimant(s) that comply with this Section 6. All Prizes will be delivered to Prize Claimant and paid via check within approximately thirty (30) days of the Prize Claimant delivering the winning Raffle ticket, executed Affidavit, and all other required documents to Sponsor. For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to the Prize Claimant. Unclaimed winnings will be retained by Sponsor for its charitable purposes. If you need more information, please email information@gorangeriders.com.

7. PRIZE RESTRICTIONS AND ODDS: Prizes are not transferable or assignable and cannot be substituted for another prize. Odds of winning a given Raffle are variable based on the total number of Raffle ticket numbers sold during the applicable Raffle Period.

8. TAXES: Each Participant acknowledges that they have been informed that the IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of a Raffle ticket does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution. Each Prize Claimant is responsible for any and all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other government assessments on the applicable awarded Prize. Furthermore, each Prize Claimant acknowledges that federal law requires that a tax withholding on certain prize values must be collected from winners upon award or distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time each Prize is claimed will be followed.

9. PARTICIPANT’S GRANT OF LICENSE: By participating in any Raffle and/or accepting a Prize, each Participant and Prize Claimant hereby irrevocably and perpetually grants to Sponsor and Club, and their designees, a worldwide license to use, publish, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute and publicly display the names, images, personal statements, voice, prize information and/or likenesses of the Participant and Prize Claimant (as applicable) in connection with their participation in any Raffle and/or receiving a Prize (collectively, the “NIL”), in any form, media, and/or content which now or hereafter exists, for advertising, promotional, and/or any other commercial purposes as well as non-commercial purposes. Each Participant and Prize Claimant waives any compensation for any use of such NIL. Each Participant and Prize Claimant hereby releases and waives any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities and causes of action arising from Sponsor, Club, and/or their designee’s, uses of the NIL, including, without limitation, any claims for defamation, libel, invasion of privacy, publicity, personality, and/or exploitation of its name, image, and/or likeness.

10. RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY: By participating in any Raffle, each Participant and Prize Claimant, both on each of their own behalf and on behalf of each of their heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, hereby releases, waives, discharges, covenants not to sue, and indemnifies, defends and holds harmless Sponsor, the Club, and the Volunteer Organization, together with all of the past, present or future predecessors, successors, assigns, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, related entities and persons, owners, shareholders, members, partners, trustees, elected officials, directors, managers, officers, employees, servants, principals, agents, consultants, contractors, representatives, sponsors, and insurers of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any claim or loss arising out of or related to the Participant’s or Prize Claimant’s participation in any Raffle, acceptance of a Prize, or any exercise by Sponsor of any of its rights set forth in the Official Rules, including, but not limited to, any claims related to (i) any injury to the Participant (including death); (ii) any loss of the Participant’s property that occurs in connection with participation in any Raffle, receiving a Prize or any related activities; (iii) any failure to report and pay any taxes arising from acceptance of the Prize; (iv) the Participant’s acts or the acts of any other party with respect to the Participant’s receipt of the Prize, or participation in any Raffle; (v) any tickets redeemed in error by the Released Parties respective employees, members or agents; (vi) or any other errors of any kind, whether human, typographical, printing, mechanical, or electronic in nature, which relate to or are connected with the Raffle (collectively, “Errors”), including without limitation Errors in Raffle-related materials or in the administration of the Raffle, such as Errors in processing entries, identifying potential winners, determining official winners, or announcing or delivering Prizes, regardless of whether any such claims are caused in whole or in part by the negligence of any entity or person released hereunder.

11. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY; WAIVER: Each Raffle shall be governed by the laws of the State of Montana without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rule of any jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term, condition, or provision of these Official Rules, or their application to a particular persons or circumstances, is invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, then such term, condition or provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Official Rules in accordance with applicable law and the remainder of these Official Rules, and the application of all of these Official Rules to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected by such determination, and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The failure of Sponsor to enforce at any time any provision of the Official Rules shall not be considered a waiver of such provision or any other provision and shall not deprive Sponsor of the right thereafter to enforce such provision or any other provision.

12. CHANGES:  Sponsor reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, cancel, suspend and/or modify any Raffle or these Official Rules.
