§ 3 How the game is played

The player having the most points after all of the Viessmann World Cup competitions and the FIL World Championship have ended, wins the overall prize. Prizes are also awarded to the top three results entries for each Viessmann World Cup competition and the FIL World Championships (see above). Entries can be submitted in each case before the first competition of the weekend. In order to inform you about the latest ranking and the activation of the next round you will receive an e-mail. The international Luge Federation will contact the winners by e-mail. The winner shall confirm acceptance of the prize by e-mail. This e-mail must include a postal address that is required to receive the prize. The participant shall forfeit his/her prize claim if this confirmation is not received within 30 days, otherwise the International Luge Federation reserves the right to award the prize to one of the other participants. The same conditions shall apply if the user's Facebook App Permissions have been revoked after participating.

Method used to determine winners:

• 1st place guessed correctly    10 points
• 2nd place guessed correctly    6 points
• 3rd place guessed correctly    3 points

Bonus points:

• All three best ranked athletes of a competition guessed in the correct order    + 20 points

In the event multiple entries have the same number of points after the Viessmann World Cup weekend, the FIL World Championships and at the end of the game, winners will be selected by a drawing.

Prizes cannot be substituted nor transferred to third parties. Material prizes cannot be awarded as cash and cannot be exchanged.


§ 4 Exclusion from participating in the game and termination for other reasons

The International Luge Federation reserves the right to exclude those participants from taking part in the game who have used illegitimate resources and/or have otherwise violated the terms and conditions of participation. When such cases occur prizes can be subsequently denied and reclaimed. The International Luge Federation reserves the right to interrupt or terminate the game at any time without prior announcement, and without statement of the reasons for such action. The Federation is authorized to take such action specifically when any technical and/or legal reasons make it impossible to implement the game in proper fashion, in which case no winners will be chosen.


§ 5 Miscellaneous

No right of appeals exists. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively. If individual terms and conditions of participation are invalid or become invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions of participation.
