5. THE DRAW AND HOW IT WORKS

5.1. Your entry into the Draw will be immediately upon our acceptance of your entry. You will be then entered into the applicable Draw.

How the Draw works

5.2. Our Draw works in a tiered way. Your entry (whether paid route or free entry) will be placed into the Draw and on the 1st day from the start date, the Website algorithm will automatically remove half of the entries elected at random, leaving the other half remaining in the Draw.

5.3. The remaining entrants will then be given the opportunity to be bought out which is only effective if all entrants elect to take this option (“Buyout Option”).

5.4. If the Buyout Option is not elected by all remaining entrants and the Draw continues towards the closing date, the Draw will continue to delete half the entries at random each day, offering the same Buyout Option at each stage. This tiered process continues until the closing date for the Draw and the last entry is deemed the winner of the Draw (“Winner”).

5.5. On each occasion that the Draw reduces, a Buyout Option is offered to the remaining entrants which will only be payable if all remaining entrants elect that route.

5.6. During the periods of ticket reductions referred to in clauses 5.2 to 5.5, entrants will have access to an online marketplace on the Website (“Marketplace”). Members and entrants who have tickets remaining and are still active in the Draw will have the option to sell their current entry(ies) in the Draw to another entrant in the Draw. These users can be any existing Member and do not have to have been involved in the initial purchasing of the original entry. The tickets will be allowed to be sold in the Marketplace until the day before the Closing Date and until a Winner is chosen. Members with free tickets will also have access to this marketplace and they will have the same rights as paying ticket members

5.7. There will only be one Winner per Draw unless otherwise stated on our Website.

5.8. The Draw will be notified on our Website, our Facebook page "beyondcompetitions" and/or such other social media platform that we decide. Please see below for information relating to Winners.

5.10. We do not accept automated entries. All entries must be made by individual Members.

5.11. We may at our discretion offer various promotions or loyalty programs from time to time. Each entry that is purchased in connection with any special promotion shall be treated as an individual entry in the applicable Draw. Any additional terms relating to the promotion shall be communicated to any participants.

The Marketplace

5.13. We will only accept accurate and complete entries submitted and received by us for any applicable Draw. Each Draw will stipulate any additional requirements for the Draw, the terms of which will be binding on you. We may impose an entry limit of tickets or numbers for any Draw, which shall be stated on the Website under the relevant Draw details. If you exceed the entry limit howsoever, either via the paid route or free entry, any entry will be void and you will be unable to win. We will not provide any refunds for any entries which are void or illegible due to the entry information being incorrect or exceeding any entry limit on tickets for any one Draw

5.17. Within your account section, you will be given the opportunity to withdraw any unused credits if your balance is in credit.

5.18. The Marketplace operates as an escrow system.
