By accessing, browsing, registering for, or using our Website or participating in any PrizeKings competition, you agree to be bound by these legally binding Terms of Play, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Responsible Play Policy (collectively, the “Terms”).

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Website or participate in any competitions.

Any dispute, claim, or matter arising from or relating to your participation in a competition, use of the Website, or these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Africa.

If you access or participate in a PrizeKings competition from outside South Africa, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for ensuring that such participation is lawful in your jurisdiction. PrizeKings shall not be liable for any participation that contravenes local laws applicable to you.

If you are unsure whether your participation is lawful, you should seek independent legal advice before entering and discontinue use of the Website immediately.

7. JUDGING PROCESS (SPOT THE BALL)

Determination of Ball Position

After a competition closes:

• An independent judging panel determines the correct centre of the ball.
• The process is overseen for fairness and integrity.
• The adjudicated position is final and binding.

Winner Selection

All valid entries are compared mathematically to the adjudicated position.

The winner is:

• The Participant whose selected pixel is closest to the adjudicated position.
• Distance is calculated using straight-line measurement.

 

8. TIE-BREAK PROCEDURE

If two or more valid entries are equally close:

Step 1 – Additional Entries Review

If tied participants submitted multiple entries:

• Additional entries will be reviewed in order of proximity.
• The closest subsequent entry determines the provisional winner.

Step 2 – Judges’ Review

If unresolved:

• Judges reassess tied entries considering image context and sporting logic.
• Decision by majority vote.
• Decision is final.

Step 3 – Sudden Death Round

If still unresolved:

• Tied participants may be invited to participate in a new Spot the Ball challenge at no cost.
• The process repeats until a single winner is determined.

Failure to respond within 72 hours may result in forfeiture.
