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.

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.
