and sign the application form and return it to the Group Sales Department for
the WNBA team in its market so that it is received by no later than one week

How it works:
A Group may purchase tickets (subject to availability) for up to six (6) WNBA
regular season games scheduled to take place between May 17, 2008 and June 29,
2008 (each, a "Qualifying Game"). To be eligible to win a prize, a

each ticket purchased for at least $9 and at the group rates published by the
WNBA team in its market as of May 1, 2008; (b) have its fully completed and
signed application received by its local WNBA team's Group Sales Department
by no later than one week prior to the first applicable Qualifying Game of the
order; and (c) purchase all qualifying tickets by date of the last applicable
Qualifying Game of the order (collectively, a "Qualifying Group").
A Qualifying Group's purchase may be limited by the number of group tickets
to a Qualifying Game that a team has available. The number of Qualifying Games
and the number of available group tickets that each WNBA team may have varies.
The total number of Group tickets will be verified through the team's ticketing
system. All disputes regarding this Program and the interpretation of these
Terms and Conditions will be resolved by the WNBA League office, and its decision
shall be final and binding, and not subject to challenge in a court of law.
This Program is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and
regulations and is void where prohibited by law.
Groups must submit all materials that they desire to send to their members regarding
this Program to the WNBA team in their markets for prior approval. A Group that
circulates materials without receiving WNBA team approval may, in the sole discretion
of the Sponsor, be disqualified.
Prizes: The local community organization designated by the Qualifying
Group across all fourteen WNBA team markets who purchases the most tickets (as
determined by Sponsor) (the "Grand Prize Winner") will receive its
choice of one of the following three (3) grand prizes (as indicated on the Qualifying
Group's application form): (1) choice of a new or refurbished indoor or outdoor
WNBA-identified basketball court at a local community organization (prize includes
new court painting and surfacing or resurfacing an existing basketball court,
with new basketball backboards, rims and nets; prize does not include anything
other as specified in these rules, e.g., the purchasing of land or any specific
construction or development costs or permits) (Maximum Approximate Retail Value
("ARV"): $25,000); (2) a Read to Achieve Reading and Learning Center
at a local community organization (prize includes books, computers, and WNBA-branded
signage, photography and memorabilia selected by Sponsor, in its sole discretion;

ARV: $25,000); or (3) a $10,000 check payable to the designated local community
organization. Maximum Total ARV of all prizes: $26,000. In the event of a tie,
the Qualifying Group from among those tied with the largest total revenue will
be the winner. In the event a tie still remains, the Qualifying Group which
purchased largest number of tickets to the first home game of the Qualifying
Group sale will be the winner. Thereafter, the number of tickets purchased for
each game of the Qualifying Group sales of those tied will be compared until
a winner for the applicable prize level is determined. Only the local community
organization named on the application form will be eligible to receive the prizes.
All prize details are at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Prizes will be
awarded "as is" with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied
by Sponsor. No transfer, cash equivalents or substitutions permitted by Winning

right to substitute a prize of comparable or greater value, at its sole discretion.
All federal, state and local taxes, if any, and all other costs or expenses
not specified herein as being awarded are the sole responsibility of the Winning
