PARTICIPANT PHONE REQUIREMENTS FOR EVENTS: To participate in an Event, you must use a working LG enV or V handset with active Verizon service with text message capabilities

HOW THE WINNER WILL BE DETERMINED:
The Event will be conducted as a bracketed, single elimination series, with multiple rounds. To proceed to the next round, you must win in the prior round. The winner of the Event will be the Participant who survives to the final round, and wins that round (either the "HOLLYWOOD Regional Champion" or the "NY Regional Champion").

The first round will begin at a time to be selected by Sponsor. Up to 225 Participants per Event will be entered into pools of Participants ("Pool"), as randomly determined by Sponsor. At each Pool, Participants will interact with a referee. The referee will instruct each Participant to program their handset with his/her cell phone number. Each pool will have a unique number. The referee will visibly confirm the proper number has been inputted into each Participant’s phone. Participants in each Pool will be prompted to disable any abbreviation functionality from their handsets. Each round will take place as follows: When cued, Participants will place their handsets on a marking on a counter-top area.

All handsets will need to be closed. Participants will need to stand with their hands behind their back. A :10 countdown will appear on the screens in front of the Participants. When the countdown reaches zero, a horn will sound and a phrase will appear on the screens.

Participants will then open their handsets and transcribe the phrase verbatim – no abbreviations, no typos – and send it to the designated referee’s phone. The first text message that is received by the referee which has the exact phrase correctly typed in the message will be deemed the winner. Referee's decisions are final and binding. If no Participant correctly types the exact phrase, the round will be run over. At the end of the each round, winning

Participants will have as much time as is deemed appropriate by the Sponsor to move on to their next round.

If any round, or any participation in connection there with, is terrupted intentionally by any Participant, that Participant will immediately be disqualified. If a game interruption is caused by outside circumstances such as a service or phone error or loss of power, if a majority of Participants were affected, the round will be re-played. If a majority of Participants were not affected, the round will not be re-played. If a Participant does not appear for the initial or a subsequent round at the scheduled start time, he or she will be disqualified. If a Participant moves his or her hands before the countdown clock reaches zero and the horn sounds, Participant will be disqualified. Referees shall have the right to disqualify any Participants who are not in compliance with these official rules in their sole discretion.
