8. CONTEST RULES:
-
Entry to the Contest is free; no purchase, payment, or customer relationship with Sponsor is required. There is one round of submission to the Contest: your bracket submitted with your entry.
-
The Contest is a bracket-style prediction game in which entrants submit a completed bracket predicting the winners of head-to-head matchups between security misconfiguration scenarios. Each matchup represents two competing misconfigurations, and only one advances to the next round.
-
Matchup outcomes are determined by the official Contest scoring process. Each game is evaluated in three phases, representing different security realities: (i) SPRS point loss, (ii) difficulty to fix the issue in a typical resource-constrained small business environment, (iii) and the last 90 days of threat signals. The combined result determines the winner of the matchup. All Sponsor scoring decisions are final.
-
Brackets are scored based on the accuracy of each entrant’s predictions. Entrants earn points for correctly predicting the winner of each matchup, with later rounds carrying more weight than earlier rounds. The entrant with the most points at the end of the bracket’s “games” wins.
-
If multiple entrants finish with the same score at the end of the tournament, the tie will be broken by comparing each entrant’s predicted final championship score to the actual Sponsor-tallied final score. The entrant with the closest prediction will be declared the winner.
-
Winners are selected solely based on bracket performance and applicable tie-breaking rules. No additional actions, engagement, or purchases are required to participate or to win.
-
Senteon reserves the right to resolve disputes, correct errors, and interpret the rules as needed to ensure fair play and the integrity of the game. All decisions made by Senteon regarding scoring, winners, and rule interpretation are final.
