    The 2009 WNBA Toyota Project Rebound program begins June 6, 2009 and ends July 31, 2009 (the “Program Period”). There are two (2) components to this Program: 1) Sales Rep Incentive Program, and 2) Local Community Program.

    Sales Rep Incentive Program

    This Program is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States or District of Columbia, 18 years of age or older who are salespersons employed by WNBA teams. Eligibility will be determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. The one (1) salesperson who is responsible for the largest Group (as defined below) sales for up to five (5) Qualifying Games (as defined below) during the Program Period across the League (as determined by Sponsor) will be receive the following sales incentive award (a “Prize”): Top Seller: $1,000. Prizes will be awarded in the form of a check. In the event of a tie in any prize level, the salesperson with the highest total revenue from the qualifying Group sale from among those tied will be the winner for that level. In the event a tie still remains, the salesperson of the Group sale with the largest number of tickets purchased 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 such tied salespersons will be compared until a winner for the applicable prize level is determined.

    Local Community Program

    Who Can Participate:
    Any collection of individuals and/or organizations who are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia, 18 or older (each, a “Group”) (i) that has assigned a leader to manage the Group’s participation in, and ticket order with respect to, this Program (the “Group Leader”), (ii) that has identified, and obtained the written consent of, a local community organization to receive any prize awarded, and (iii) whose leader has completed the required application and related paperwork on behalf of the Group. Sponsor reserves the right to approve or disapprove the designation of any Group. Employees, and the immediate family members (spouse, child, parent and sibling and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) and those living in the same households, whether or not related, of the WNBA Enterprises, LLC, Women’s National Basketball Association (the “WNBA”), the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”), any WNBA team, any NBA team, and any of their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and advertising and promotion agencies, are not eligible to be Group Leaders or to participate or win. Groups affiliated with any of the above-mentioned entities are also not eligible.

    How to enroll:
    A Group may participate by having the Group Leader fully complete 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 prior to the first applicable Qualifying Game (For a list of Qualifying Games, visit WNBA.com).

    How it works:
    A Group may purchase tickets (subject to availability) for up to five (5) WNBA regular season games scheduled to take place between June 6, 2009 and July 31, 2009 (each, a “Qualifying Game”). To be eligible to win a prize, a Group must (a) purchase a minimum of 250 tickets over the Program Period with each ticket purchased for at least $9 and at the group rates published by the WNBA team in its market as of June 1, 2009; (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 a new Reading and Learning Center valued at up to $25,000. The Reading and Learning Center prize includes books, computers, and WNBA-branded signage, photography and memorabilia selected by Sponsor, in its sole discretion; prize does not include anything other as specified in these rules, e.g., purchasing of space or any specific construction or development costs or permits) (Maximum ARV: $25,000). 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.
