OBJECTIVE OF THE CONTEST:

Participants in the Contest (“Player,” “Participant” or “Entrant”) try to accumulate the most points by selecting a “Team” comprised of professional downhill (“DH”) mountain bike racers. Points are awarded based on the
performance of DH mountain bike racers on one’s Team in actual sanctioned cycling competitions.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Sign-up:
To participate in the Contest, visit www.pinkbike.com (“Website”) to log into your free Pinkbike account (“Account”). If you do not have an Account, you can create a free Pinkbike account by visiting https://www.pinkbike.com/user/signup/ and following the on-screen instructions. If you do have an Account, you are advised to review your Account information to assure that it is complete and current. After you have created (or reviewed) your Account, you can participate during the Contest Period at the Website by following the on-screen instructions to participate in the Contest. You must agree to Pinkbike Terms of Use which can be found by logging onto http://www.pinkbike.com/about/legal/#terms-of-use.

Select Your Team:
Each participant has a budget of 1,500,000 “dollars” to be used to build their Team with DH mountain bike racers. For clarity, “dollars” are NOT actual currency/legal tender, have no cash value and are to be used by a participant solely for the purpose of creating/maintaining their Team and participating in the Contest in accordance with these Official Rules. “Dollars” are not transferable and cannot be (a) pooled or shared among participants or (b) purchased, sold, given or exchanged from one participant to another. Sponsor and Pinkbike have not granted any property right or ownership interest in “dollars” to the participant under any legal theory.

Any unused “dollars” are void and forfeited.
Create your Team by following the instructions in the How To Play section on the Website.** Each DH mountain bike racer has an established value in “dollars” which you can view by clicking the “Pick WC Racer” button next to the DH mountain bike racer. (Such values have in all cases been set by Pinkbike at its sole discretion.) You must not exceed your budget of 1,500,000 “dollars” when selecting your Team or at any other time during participation in the Contest. You must save your Team selection after you are done by following the on-screen instructions on the Website. SEE WEBSITE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON CHOOSING YOUR TEAM/SELECTING DH MOUNTAIN BIKE RACERS FOR YOUR TEAM AND ALL DEADLINES**In all cases, the instructions on the Website (including but not limited to the How To Play section of the Website) are made a part of these Official Rules and incorporated herein by reference. Should there be any inconsistency between the instructions on the Website and these Official Rules, the instructions on the Website shall prevail, govern and control only with respect to the element of Contest play in question and, in all other regards, these Official Rules will prevail, govern and control.

Manage Your Team:
The Contest will be conducted over a series of eight ( 8 ) rounds: during each round, a different DH mountain bicycle racing competition will be held. You can make as many changes as you like for each upcoming round by following the onscreen instructions on the Website, as long as you stay within your available budget and do not exceed the maximum of 1,500,000 “dollars” at any time. For the initial round, Team changes are permitted up until 4 May 2024. After that time, your selections are locked in for the first round of the Contest. For each of the remaining seven (7) rounds, follow the same procedure set forth in Select Your Team to create your Team for the upcoming round, adding and dropping DH mountain bike racers as preferred. Again, your Team must stay within the available budget of 1,500,000 “dollars” at all times. The Website will state the corresponding deadline for selecting a Team for each upcoming round.

Your team will be automatically updated to make sure it is within the 1.5 million dollar budget.

The team that you choose for one round could be out of your budget for the next round. Initial rider pricing is based on historical results and insider info, but from the second round on, it will be based on the results from the previous round. If your team's budget gets pushed beyond the salary cap due to the change of rider prices, your most expensive rider will automatically be replaced with the least expensive rider. If your team is still over the budget cap, your next most expensive rider will automatically be swapped for the least expensive rider. You can then choose to go and reallocate the budget and make changes as needed. You will have to build a new team each round before Qualifying starts based on the new pricing

DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION; JURISDICTION AND VENUE:

Residents of the United States and Canada:
{This Section and the following Section do NOT apply to residents of Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom; see Sections 20 [Germany], 21 [United Kingdom] or 22 [Australia], as applicable.}
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Entrant and the Sponsor agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Except where prohibited, to the extent permitted by law, Entrant and Sponsor agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive arbitration of disputes relating to the Contest under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts.

Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.

Any arbitration between Entrant and Sponsor, to the extent necessary, will be conducted in Colorado, USA, and you waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum. Entrants agree not to sue us or bring arbitration in any other forum.

The arbitration will be conducted in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Both Entrant and Sponsor agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens for everyone involved:
· the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration;
· the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and
· any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will include a statement describing the reasons for the disposition of any claim.
All Entrants acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with us arising out of or relating to any Entrant’s use of the Services, Entrants are:
· Giving up your right to have a trial by jury;
· Giving up your right to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any lawsuit involving any such dispute; and
· Must file any claim within one (1) year after such claim arose or it is forever barred.

If this arbitration provision is found to be null and void (in whole or in part, including without limitation the requirement to engage in an arbitration on an individual basis), then all disputes arising in connection with the Contest or these Official Rules between us will be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Colorado, USA, and you and we hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.
This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude Entrant or Sponsor from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude Entrant or Sponsor from (i) applying to the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, or (ii) seeking relief in any state or federal court for disputes related to a violation or possible violation of Sponsor’s intellectual property rights.

In the event of any litigation or arbitration arising from or related to this Contest or these Official Rules, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable costs incurred including staff time, court costs, attorneys’ fees, and all other related expenses incurred in such litigation or arbitration.

GOVERNING LAW:

To the extent permitted by law, this Contest shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado USA, regardless of conflicts of law principles. Any action or litigation concerning this Contest shall take place exclusively in the federal or state courts sitting in Colorado USA, and each entrant expressly consents to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waives all defenses of lack of jurisdiction and inconvenient forum with respect to such courts. Each Entrant agrees to service of process by mail or other method acceptable under the laws of the State of Colorado. For New Jersey residents, the limitations set forth above are inapplicable where attorneys’ fees, court costs, or other damages are mandated by statute.
Data: By entering the Contest, each Entrant agrees to the Sponsor’s use of their personal information as described in Sponsor’s Privacy Policy located at https://www.outsideinc.com/privacy-policy which are incorporated by reference herein and made a part of these Official Rules. In those circumstances, these Official Rules will govern the privacy relationship between Sponsor and the Entrants. If during the registration process of the Contest, Entrants have elected to receive (opt-in) email communications from Sponsor’s future promotions or other offers, Entrants may choose to opt-out and unsubscribe from such email communications at any time by accessing the link in the footer of the emails. By entering the Contest, Entrants agree and acknowledge that their personal information (e.g., name and profile image) will be available on the Contest leaderboard. Entrants should not participate in the Contest if they do not wish for this information to be made available to other Entrants. If you are determined as a Winner, your first name, last initial and city/state/province/country may be included in a publicly available winners list.
