The “Chipotle Bracket” Contest
OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
CONTEST DESCRIPTION: The “Chipotle Bracket” contest (the “Contest”) will take place during Evo 2024 (the “Event”) between [11:00 AM PT] and [9:00 PM] on Friday and Saturday and 11:00 AM PT and 2 PM PT on Sunday. The Contest will consist of a series of hourly esports competitions (“Competitions”) taking place in the Chipotle lounge, as described in greater detail below. By participating in the Contest, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of CMG Strategy Co., LLC, 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1400, Newport Beach, CA, 92660 (“Sponsor”), which shall be final and binding in all respects.
ELIGIBILITY: Only legal U.S. residents of, and residing in, the fifty (50) United States and District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of entry and in attendance at EVO 2024 are eligible. Officers, directors and employees of Sponsor and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, advertising, and promotion agencies involved in the Contest (all such individuals and entities collectively referred to herein as the “Contest Entities”), and the immediate family members (spouse and parents, children, siblings and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) and/or those residing in the same household of each, whether or not related, are ineligible to enter a Competition or win a prize. This Contest is void where prohibited.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE: A schedule of the Competitions will be available in the Chipotle Lounge. During each Competition, eligible entrants will have the opportunity to compete in a single elimination bracket to play one of the video games designated by Sponsor (each, a “Title Game”). Sponsor may provide additional game play rules or information about required settings at the time of each Competition (“Game Play Rules”). The Game Play Rules, if any, will be communicated to entrants at the time of each Competition.
To participate in any Competition, eligible entrants must arrive at the Chipotle Lounge by the time designated by Chipotle, which will typically be fifteen (15) minutes before each Competition begins. Entrants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Not every entrant who wishes to complete may have the opportunity to do so. No entrant has a confirmed spot in any Competition until Sponsor confirms the entrant on site. Once an entrant has a confirmed spot for a Competition, all confirmed entrants will be randomly seeded into the single elimination bracket. Entrants will advance through the single elimination bracket by playing matches of the Title Game in accordance with the Game Play Rules. At the end of each Competition, the winner of the single elimination bracket will win the Competition Prize (as defined below). If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason , such potential winner will be disqualified, and the runner-up for the Competition at issue may be awarded the prize.
PRIZES: Each player will receive a Chipotle Arcade Button (approximate retail value (“ARV”): $10 each) (“Participation Prize”). One (1) “Competition Prize” is available per Competition, consisting of one (1) Evo x Chipotle satchel bag. The ARV is $50 each. No cash alternative, transfer or substitution of prizes will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute prize(s) of comparable value, for any reason. [BC1] Prizes will be awarded immediately following the end of each Competition.
