Scoring
Scoring for the Club Cup Championship is based on the overall ranking of each of the teams that comprise your entry. Each of your teams is ranked from first to last in the overall standings of its respective contest. These rankings are then added together to determine your combined Club Cup Championship ranking. The entry with the lowest combined ranking finishes first and the entry with the highest combined ranking finishes last.

Three combined rankings are calculated: Best of 5, Best of 4, and Best of 3. To determine the Best of 5 standings, only entries with five free-to-enter teams (auto racing, baseball, football, hockey, and basketball) are ranked. To determine the Best of 4 standings, entries with five as well as entries with four free-to-enter teams are ranked. For entries with five teams, the four lowest overall team rankings are used to determine the combined ranking for the Best of 4 standings. To determine the Best of 3 standings, all entries are ranked. For entries with five or four teams, the three lowest overall team rankings are used to determine the combined ranking for the Best of 3 standings.

Prizes
Prizes are awarded at the end of the Club Cup Championship to the top entry in each of the three Club Cup Championship standings as follows:

Cup Prize
        

Cup
Prize
Best of 5
$1000 and the Gold Cup
Best of 4
$750 and the Silver Cup
Best of 3
$500 and the Bronze Cup

In addition, each Club Cup Championship winner becomes a lifetime member of the CDM Fantasy Sports Hall of Fame and is entitled to all the rights and privileges as such!

In the event of a tie for the Best of 5 Cup, the lowest overall rank in Free Fantasy Auto Racing will be used to determine the winner. In the event that a tie still exists, the lowest overall rank in Free Fantasy Baseball, Free Fantasy Football, Free Fantasy Hockey, and Free Fantasy Basketball will be used in order until the tie is broken. In the unlikely event that a tie still exists, the cash prize will be divided evenly among those who have tied and multiple cups will be awarded. A similar process will be used for ties for the Best of 4 Cup and the Best of 3 Cup.

Limit one cup prize per year per club member and/or email address. In the event that one club member and/or email address qualifies for multiple cups, the cup prize with the greatest value will be awarded, and an alternate winner will be selected for the lesser valued cup prize(s) based on standings. Winners must be active, paid club members throughout the entire contest period for the respective cup. No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted, except that CDM Fantasy Sports reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or greater if the advertised prize is unavailable. All prizes are awarded "as is" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose). All taxes associated with the receipt or use of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. A 30% U.S. income tax withholding will be applied to all non-U.S. prize winners. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the Contest is challenged by any legal authority, CDM Fantasy Sports reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.

Winner Notification
Winners are notified by email or regular mail within 30 days after the conclusion of the Contest. Winners are also posted on the Contest website. Winners must return via email or regular mail an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) within 15 days following attempted notification. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification. Any prize notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. After 12 months, any unclaimed prize will be forfeited. By accepting any prize, the winners grant permission to CDM to use their names and/or likenesses for publicity and promotional purposes without further compensation, unless prohibited by law, and agree to execute a written consent. In the event of dispute about the identity of any entrant, entries made online are declared made by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at time of entry. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. A potential winner can be required to provide the sponsors with proof that the potential winner is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning entry.
