1. Description of Contest/Participation.
Starting Friday, September 4th and every Friday for the contest period, Mitch in the Morning will open up the TEXT'ing window, for two (2) 30 minute periods between the hours of 6-10am. Friday, September 4th ONLY, will the 'window' be open for the full four (4) hours of the morning show (6am-10am). Before the 10am deadline, you will TEXT the appropriate College Team Name that represents the TEAM that you think will win for that week. Guess correctly, you advance to the next week. Guess incorrectly and you are out of the contest. YOU CAN ONLY PICK A TEAM ONCE OUT OF THE LIST OF 34 FOR THE DURATION OF THE CONTEST.

A. Dates of Contest: The Contest will begin and end on or about September 4, 2009 - November 28, 2009. Thirteen Saturday's of games.

B. How to Enter: From a text enabled cell phone, Text one of the 34 College Football Team Names listed on 950kjr.com to 49451 only once during either of the two (2) specified random ½ hour time windows during the Mitch in the Morning Show (6am-10am) every Friday between September 4, 2009 and November 28, 2009. Dates and times may vary due to the Holiday schedules. Both ½ hour windows will change every Friday, without notice and will be determined by the Morning Show.

YOU MUST USE THE SAME CELL PHONE FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THIS CONTEST.

C. How to Play: From a text enabled cell phone, Text one of the 34 College Football Team Names listed on 950kjr.com to 49451 only once during either of the two (2) specified ½ hour time windows during the Mitch in the Morning Show (6am-10am) every Friday between September 4, 2009 and November 28, 2009. Dates and times may vary due to the Holiday schedules. Both ½ hour windows will change every Friday and with out notice. You can only pick a team once. IF you pick a team more than once it will count as a loss and you will be out of the contest. If the team you selected plays and loses that week than you are out of the contest. The only way to continue on in the contest is to pick the team that wins and to only use one college team once. If there is bye weekend and you texted in a team that DID NOT play during the bye weekend than you are out as well. If you miss either of the two ½ hour windows to text in a team, than you are out of the contest and cannot rejoin. If you select a team and for some reason that team does not play due to a natural disaster or some sort of other reason than you have until the Saturday following the Friday deadline to text a NEW College Team Name no later than 9am Pacific Time. It is your responsibility to text in a new team name. College Team Mascots will not be accepted. IF you text in a college team mascot it counts as a loss and you are out of the contest. If by week 12 (for example) there are 12 people remaining and all pick a team and that team loses than all move on to the next week. Only Saturday College Football games will be the ones to select from.
ON Friday, Sept. 4th from 6 - 10am you must text in a College Team Name in order to participate in the contest - however Sept. 4th is the ONLY Friday that the texting window will be open from 6-10am. For the remaining Friday's it is the participants responsibility to tune in to the Mitch and the Morning Show from 6 - 10am and listen for the two random ½ hour windows that Mitch designates at his own discretion. The time may not be pre prompted and may or may not change every week. In order for your text message to be accepted you must text the college team name as all one word.
Pick teams judiciously and plan out over the 13 weeks of our contest because if you run out of teams in the later weeks, you lose and are out of the contest. It is your responsibility to look ahead and plan out the 13 weeks of the contest because you can only use a team once. There will be only ONE winner at the conclusion of the contest.
