Official Rules

1.    General. By participating in the Vegas Baby Scratch Game/Series (“MD”), entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Vegas Baby Bowling (“VBB”), which shall be binding and final as to all matters related to MD. MD is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and is void where prohibited. MD is a multi-facility game.

2.    MD Game Play.  MD is a skills game.  A bowler purchases a MD card and writes their 1^st game score, 2^nd game score, and 3^rd game score on their MD card.  The bowler will be randomly paired with another bowler within the league.  Each game the bowler will be paired with a new bowler.  You will not have the same partner for game 1 as game 2 or game 3.  Each week a different 2 sets of games will be used for scores (e.g. Game 1& 2, Game 2&3, or Game 1&3). The random bowler may or may not be in the same bowling house.  The top 3 bowling pairs for each game will win prize money.

3.    Prize. The game 1 first place prize will be a minimum of 50% of all the money collected for the week, split between the 2 partners.  The game 1 second place prize will be a minimum of 25% of all the money collected for the week, split between the 2 partners. The game 1 third place prize will be a minimum of 10% of all the money collected for the week, split between the 2 partners. The game 2 first place prize will be a minimum of 50% of all the money collected for game 1 for the week, split between the 2 partners.  The game 2 second place prize will be a minimum of 25% of all the money collected for game 2 for the week, split between the 2 partners. The game 2 third place prize will be a minimum of 10% of all the money collected for game 3 for the week, split between the 2 partners.

4.    Net Proceeds. All proceeds of MD will benefit the VBB league. Net proceeds from each game will be allocated to the end of season tournament.

5.    Eligibility. MD is only open to permanent members of a VBB team. Substitutes are not eligible to participate in MD.  All persons must be age eighteen (18) and older and subject to these Official Rules.

All MD tickets purchases shall be final, and no refunds or replacements will be issued by VBB. MD tickets are only valid for the game held on the date of purchase.

7.    MD Tickets are Not Tax Deductible. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.

8.    Taxes. Each winner shall be responsible for all travel, costs, federal, state, and local income or excise taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with a prize.

9.    Prize Claim.  You do not have to be present to win.  All prize money will be given as casino cash in Las Vegas, Nevada.

10.  Odds. The odds of winning MD depend on the number of MD cards purchased for the game and the bowler’s ability to perform the task.

11.  Transfer of MD cards or Prize. Persons who receive MD cards may not opt to give away their MD card. Receivers of MD cards may not re-sell their MD cards to other parties, and may not knowingly give MD cards away to others to allowing those other parties to re-sell such MD cards. All MD cards which have been resold are in violation of these Official Rules and shall be void. All individuals who re-sell, purchase, or receive MD cards in violation of these Official Rules shall be ineligible to participate in the MD or to win a prize. A winner may transfer his/her prize to a third party provided that the following conditions are met: (a) the transferee would have otherwise been eligible to enter MD (age eighteen (18) or older); (b) the transferee shall be responsible for all taxes and costs described in these Official Rules; and (c) the transferee shall be bound by all terms and conditions of these Official Rules that are applicable to the winner.

12.  Judges. The MD will be conducted and supervised by VBB, whose decisions are final. VBB reserves the right to modify these Official Rules at any time. VBB reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the MD should unauthorized human intervention or other causes corrupt the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper operation of the BB.
