ClubLink 2012 Road to RattleSnake Contest Rules
1.
How to enter. No purchase is required. There are two ways to enter: First, the contest is
open to all eligible event guests and Convenors (“Players”) who are registered for and
participate between April 16 and October 5, 2012 (the “Contest Period”) in a ClubLink
contracted golf tournament with a minimum of 20 Players at a ClubLink course in London,
Toronto (GTA), Muskoka, Ottawa/Gatineau (National Capital Region), Montreal and Mont
Tremblant (each an “Event”) excluding the academy courses at RattleSnake Point, Blue Springs,
Wyndance, Country Club, Lake Joseph, Cherry Downs and Grandview and also excluding
Rolling Hills Classic and Challenge courses, which are also not included in the contest. Players
(including for greater certainty Convenors, whether or not they play) will be given a contest card
(“Contest Card”) including a unique PIN at the Event. To enter, use the Quick Response Code
(QR), or enter online at www.clublink.ca/roadtorattlesnake and complete all required fields. All
entries must be submitted within 72 hours following the Event to be eligible for the contest.
Maximum one entry per Player per Event. Maximum one non-playing Convenor per Event will
receive a Contest Card. A ClubLink contracted golf tournament must have been arranged
pursuant to a written contract between the Convenor and ClubLink prior to the tournament.
Second, you may obtain a Contest Card by sending your name, address, daytime and evening
phone number and an original handwritten 250 word essay on why golf is such a social sport and
mailing to ClubLink Corporation ULC, Attn: Corporate Events Department, 15675 Dufferin
Street, King City, Ontario, L7B 1K5. Upon receipt during the Contest Period, ClubLink will mail
you a Contest Card which you may use to enter as described above. Contest Cards received as a
result of mail-in entries must be entered as described above and will be entered into the drawing
for the next Event, provided another drawing is available, as if they had played at that Event.
Limit one write-in request per person.
Contest is open to Canadian residents who have reached the age of majority, except employees,
representatives, and agents of ClubLink Corporation ULC (“ClubLink” or the “Sponsor”),
contest judges and persons domiciled with any of the above.
2.
Semi-finalists. Five (5) business days following each Event at 10 am at the ClubLink
Head Office, King City, Ontario, ClubLink will conduct a random draw from all eligible entries
received from that Event to select one (1) Player or write-in entrant (a “Semi-finalist”). ClubLink
will attempt to contain the selected Semi-finalists immediately following his/her selection at the
contact numbers provided when he/she entered. All confirmed Semi-finalists will advance to be
included in the draw to select Finalists (See rule 3 below).
In addition: (i) confirmed Semi-finalists who are residents of Canada other than Quebec, and
who played at a Club in Ontario, will receive a certificate for a round of golf for four with an
approximate value of $200-$850 (depending on the Club) at the ClubLink Club in Ontario where
they played when they entered the contest (except that Semi-finalists from Events at Glen Abbey
will receive a certificate for a foursome at the Club at Bond Head instead of at Glen Abbey)
(ii) confirmed Semi-finalists from up to a maximum of 125 Events who are
2
residents of Quebec, and who played at a Club in Quebec, will receive a certificate for a round of
golf for four with an approximate value of $200-$500 (depending on the Club) at the ClubLink
Club in Quebec where they played when they entered the contest. If more than 125 Events occur
in Quebec, foursome golf prizes will be selected from the first 125 Events only.
In each case the foursome includes green fees but not a cart or any other expenses. Power carts
are mandatory and are not included as part of the foursome prize. Foursome certificates are valid
weekdays prior to noon and weekends / Holidays after 3 pm except that the foursome at Le
Maitre de Mont Tremblant is valid Monday to Thursday prior to noon and Sundays after 3 pm
and is not valid on Saturdays or Holidays. The foursome must be used before the end of the 2013
season. If selected Semi-finalist cannot be contacted within five (5) business days from the day
the first contact attempt was made, he/she will be disqualified, will not be a Semi-finalist, and
another Player or write-in entrant from that Event may be randomly selected and attempts made
to contact that individual.
3.
Selection of Finalists. On October 9, 2012 a random draw will be held at 10 am at the
ClubLink Head Office, King City, Ontario to select 50 individuals (“Finalists”) from among the
estimated 1,500 Semi-finalists that will have been selected as described above. The selected 50
Finalists and one guest will be contacted at the contact numbers provided when he/she entered
the contest and invited along with their Convenor and one guest to take part in a year end golf
tournament on Monday, October 22 at RattleSnake Point Golf Club in Milton, Ontario (the
“Finalist Golf Tournament”). Convenors invited to attend the Finalist Golf Tournament may
play, but are not eligible to win any prize unless the Convenor was also a selected Finalist.
Finalists who cannot be present may designate an alternate to participate in the Finalist Golf
Tournament and to pick up the Finalist’s prize. Prizes will be awarded to Finalist and not to the
alternate. Finalists or their alternate, must be present at the Finalist Golf Tournament in order to
be eligible for any prize in the Finalist Prize Table. THE SPONSOR WILL NOT COVER
TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION
WITH ATTENDING THE FINALIST GOLF TOURNAMENT OTHER THAN GREEN
FEES, POWER CART AND DINNER. At the Finalist Golf Tournament, a reverse draw
beginning with the 50th prize will be conducted to award available prizes as described in the
prize table below (“Finalist Prize Table”). If fewer than 50 Finalists (or their alternate) attend
the Finalist Golf Tournament, ClubLink reserves the right to start the reverse draw at the total
number of Finalists in attendance less than 50. For example, if 40 Finalists or their alternates
attend the Finalist Golf Tournament, only 40 prizes will be available to be won, and the first
draw will be for the 40th prize shown in the Prize Table and prizes shown as 50 to 41 will not be
awarded.
4.
The corresponding prize will be awarded to the Finalist whose name is drawn for the
prize and who complies with these Contest Rules. For example, if 50 Finalists attend the Finalist
Golf Tournament, the first name drawn will be for the 50th prize and the second name drawn will
be for the 49th prize. If a Finalist does not comply with these Contest Rules, he/she will be
disqualified will not receive the prize and that prize will not be awarded.
