MLB Advanced Media – Beat The Streak – Win $5.6 Million by hitting in 57 straight games
MLB.com Beat the Streak – Official Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND ENTRANTS WAIVE THE ABILITY TO BRING CLAIMS IN A CLASS ACTION FORMAT.
The object of MLB.com Beat the Streak (the "Contest") is to establish a virtual "hitting streak" and keep it going for as long as possible. You'll do this by selecting one (1) or two (2) Major League Baseball ("MLB") player(s) on any game day, from a list displayed by MLB.com of MLB players who are on a MLB Club's active roster on that game day. If the player you select gets at least one (1) hit in the game for which you selected him, your streak continues. If the player you select does not get a hit, you can still participate, but your streak automatically ends and will be set to zero. You can make your daily player selections for up to ten (10) calendar days in the future. You can select any player as many times as you want over the course of the Contest Period (as defined below). If you choose to not make a selection on any game day, your streak will not end.
The Contest is open only to legal residents of the United States including its commonwealths, territories and possessions (collectively referred to herein as "states") and Canada (excluding residents of the Province of Quebec) who are eighteen (18) years of age or older (except in the case of legal residents of certain states or jurisdictions where the legal age of majority is greater than eighteen (18) years of age, such of legal age of majority) at the time of entry with a valid e-mail address and Internet access as of March 31, 2017. Excluded residents may play, but WILL NOT be eligible to receive any prizes. Void in the Province of Quebec and where prohibited by law, rule or regulation. MLB Advanced Media, L.P. ("MLBAM" or "MLB.com") will have the right, in its discretion, to require proof of identity and/or eligibility in a form acceptable to MLBAM (including, without limitation, government-issued photo identification) for verification purposes. Failure to provide such proof to the satisfaction of MLBAM in a timely manner may result in suspension or disqualification.
Employees or consultants of the MLB Entities (as defined below), National Car Rental ("National") or any of their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries or advertising and promotion agencies, and their immediate family members (parent, sibling, child or spouse and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) and any person residing in their same households, whether or not related, are not eligible to participate or win a prize. The "MLB Entities" shall mean MLBAM the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball ("BOC"), its Bureaus, Committees, Subcommittees and Councils, BAMTech, LLC, Major League Baseball Properties, Inc., the Major League Baseball Clubs ("Clubs"), The MLB Network, LLC, each of their parent, subsidiary, affiliated and related entities, any entity which, now or in the future, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Clubs or the BOC and the owners, general and limited partners, shareholders, parents, directors, officers, representatives, employees, agents, successors and assigns of the foregoing entities.
Contest Period
The Contest begins at 1:05 p.m. Eastern Time ("ET") on April 2, 2017 and ends following the conclusion of the final game of the 2017 MLB regular season (the "Contest Period"). For purposes of this Contest, the 2017 MLB regular season includes all potential MLB tiebreaker games, if any, played prior to the commencement of the 2017 MLB postseason.
You may register to participate in the Contest during the period beginning on or about March 31, 2017 and ending five (5) minutes prior to the final game of the 2017 MLB regular season (the "Registration Period"). There are two (2) ways to register to participate in the Contest: online at www.mlb.com (the "MLB.com Portal") or by using the free MLB.com Beat the Streak mobile application (the "Application"). No other method of registration will be accepted. All entries must include a valid e-mail address for the participant. Limit one (1) registration per unique email address, regardless of method of registration.
1. Online Registration via the MLB.com Portal: To register online to participate, visit www.mlb.com/bts or www.mlb.com/fantasy during the Registration Period and click on the banners, buttons and/or links for the Contest to access the Contest registration page, then follow the directions provided to register for the Contest.
2. Beat the Streak Application: To register for the Contest via the Application, install the Application using a compatible device as directed. Click here for a list of supported compatible devices. Once installed, follow the instructions to launch the Application and register for the Contest. Please note: Standard data usage and other carrier fees may apply-check with your carrier for pricing details. Wireless service is not available in all areas. Throughout the Contest Period, MLBAM may release important updates to the Application for which you will receive notification via in-app messaging or otherwise. Be sure to install these updates to ensure you are able to make selections via the Application. If you do not install updates to the Application when they are available, you may be required to make your selections online via the MLB.com Portal.
If you are not already a member of MLB.com, you must become one before you can register to participate in the Contest (membership is free), regardless of method of entry. Registrations must be received during the Registration Period to be eligible. Please note that all information submitted by participants is subject to, and will be treated in a manner consistent with, MLB.com's Terms of Use accessible at http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/about_mlb_com/terms_of_use.jsp and Privacy Policy accessible at:http://www.mlb.com/privacy. Registrations generated by script, macro or other automated means or utilizing any other method or means which, in MLBAM's sole discretion, impacts the integrity of the Contest or is in violation of these Official Rules will be void. Entrants to the Contest may be given the option to receive commercial e-mails from MLB.com; however, eligibility to participate in the Contest is not dependent upon entrant's consent to receive such e-mails.
Mulligan Feature
MLBAM shall make a one-time offer available during the Contest Period (the "Offer"), subject to certain terms and conditions specified at the time of the Offer, providing each participant the opportunity to have one (1) streak he/she accumulates of at least ten (10) and no more than fifteen (15) ("Mulligan Eligible Streak") automatically preserved if it would have otherwise been returned to zero in accordance with these Official Rules ("Mulligan"). Specifically, each participant that accepts the Offer by either entering a promotional code determined by MLBAM (the "Promotional Code") on the Offer redemption page on the MLB.com Portal or in the Application (the "Offer Redemption Page") or following the instructions provided by MLBAM on the Offer Redemption Page to accept the Offer without having to enter a Promotional Code, will automatically have the first Mulligan Eligible Streak he/she has accumulated at the time of, or subsequent to, accepting the Offer preserved in the event the player he/she picks fails to get a hit in accordance with these Official Rules; provided, however that the Offer must be accepted before the Lock Time for such player. By way of example only, if a participant has accumulated a streak of twelve (12) and selects Mike Trout on a Game Day (as defined below) where he takes at bats and fails to earn a hit, his/her streak will remain at twelve (12) for that Game Day provided that he/she accepted the Offer prior to Mike Trout's Lock Time for the applicable Game Day. Participants will be given the option to accept the Offer at any time during the Contest Period. However, for the avoidance of doubt, the "Mulligan Feature" will be applied only to a Mulligan Eligible Streak once. See the Double Down Pick Section below for further information about how a Mulligan will save a streak if a participant makes a Double Down Pick.
Contest Administration
By registering and/or participating in the Contest, each participant agrees that MLBAM will solely resolve any disputes and rules violations that arise in connection with the Contest. MLB.com's computer shall be the official clock of the Contest. All decisions by MLBAM regarding the Contest shall be final and binding in all respects. Any incidence of collusion or cheating, as determined by MLBAM in its sole discretion, will be subject to disqualification from the Contest without limitation to any other rights or remedies available to MLBAM. If you have any questions regarding the Contest, please send an e-mail to MLB.com customer support.
Selecting Your Players
Each day on which a regular season MLB game is played during the Contest Period (each, a "Game Day"), you may select one (1) or two (2) players from a list displayed by MLB.com of MLB players who are on each MLB Club's active roster on that Game Day (the "Active Players List"). You may select any MLB player from the Active Players List, including any player you have previously chosen, until five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled start of the MLB game (the "Lock Time") in which such MLB player is on an active roster for that Game Day. You can make your daily player selection up to ten (10) calendar days prior to any Game Day and may change your selection at any time prior to the Lock Time for any applicable MLB player on that Game Day. The Active Players List may change as a result of injury or other roster changes, so be alert!
Establishing and Maintaining a Streak
Your streak is measured by the number of consecutive MLB game(s) the player(s) you select are credited with a hit during the Contest Period.
Unless the Mulligan feature applies (as set forth in the Mulligan Feature above), your streak will automatically end and you must start to build your streak again from zero if you select a player for any MLB game who does not get a hit and has at least (i) one (1) official at bat, or (ii) one (1) sacrifice fly during the MLB game for which you selected him.
Your streak will NOT end under any of the following scenarios (each such scenario, a "Pass"):
If a player you select does not play during the MLB game for which you selected him for any reason other than his MLB Club not being scheduled to play;
If all of your selected players' plate appearances result in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or obstruction or a sacrifice bunt;
Except as set forth in the Suspended Games Section below, in the event any MLB game for which you select a player is cancelled, postponed or suspended (See below for more information about Suspended Games);
If you fail to select a player for any Game Day; or
If the Mulligan feature applies, described above.
Participants will be allowed to make two (2) selections during any Game Day by making a "Double Down Pick." Selecting a second player means that a participant can increase their streak by two (2) in one (1) Game Day. If either of the selected players fails to earn a hit during the MLB game after he takes an at bat or has a sacrifice fly, then that user's streak automatically ends and returns to zero (unless the Mulligan feature applies, described above).
Participants will have the opportunity to make a Double Down Pick on any Game Day with the following exceptions:
If the participant has already made a Double Down Pick for that Game Day;
Once a participant has made a Double Down Pick, and one (1) of the players has past his applicable Lock Time, the Double Down pick cannot be changed, even if the second player has not passed his Lock Time; and/or
If the participant has made one (1) pick on a Game Day, and that one (1) pick has passed his applicable lock time for that Game Day, a Double Down pick cannot be added for that Game Day.
To further illustrate the possible scenarios for a Double Down Pick, please refer to the table below.
Pick 1	Pick 2	Result
Hit	Hit	Streak increases by two (2).
No Hit	No Hit	Streak ends and reset to zero unless a Mulligan applies in which case the streak is preserved at current level.
Hit	No Hit	Streak ends and reset to zero unless a Mulligan applies in which case the streak is preserved at current level.
Pass	No Hit	Streak ends and reset to zero unless a Mulligan applies in which case the streak is preserved at current level.
Hit	Pass	Streak is increased by one (1).
Pass	Pass	Streak is preserved at current level.
Double-headers
In the event that a player you select is scheduled to play in a double-header on any given Game Day, you must select the exact MLB game of the double-header for which your pick will apply for that Game Day; provided, however that in the event any MLB game is rescheduled as a double-header on a Game Day for which you've already made your MLB player selection (e.g. ten (10) calendar days in advance), your MLB player selection will automatically apply for the first game of the double-header unless you manually change your MLB game selection in accordance with these rules.
For purposes of clarity, if any player is playing in a double-header, subject to the foregoing restrictions, you can select that player in each game of the double-header, meaning you can pick that player twice on that day.
Suspended Games
The following rules shall apply in the event any 2017 MLB game(s) is officially suspended during the Contest Period (each, a "Suspended Game"):
Only hits, at bats and sacrifice flies that are officially scored as hits, at bats and sacrifice flies in the portion of the game that was played prior to the point of suspension of such Suspended Game shall count as hits for purposes of this Contest provided either of the following conditions apply at the time such game(s) is suspended:
The MLB Club that is trailing in the portion of the game that was suspended (i) has made fifteen (15) or more outs in the game, and/or (ii) has completed all of its at-bats for five (5) innings; or
The home MLB Club (i) has made fifteen (15) or more outs, (ii) has completed all of its at-bats for five (5) innings, and/or (iii) has tied the game in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Example: A participant with a streak of eleven (11) who doesn't make a Double Down Pick selects Jason Heyward to hit on the May 6th game that is suspended in the 7th inning. Heyward goes 1-for-2 in the portion of the game that was played on May 6th. The participant's streak would increase to twelve (12).
Any hits, at bats or sacrifice flies officially scored as hits, at bats and sacrifice flies in the portion of the game that was played prior to the point of suspension of such Suspended Game will NOT count as valid hits for purposes of this Contest provided either of the following conditions apply at the time such game(s) is suspended:
The MLB Club which is trailing has NOT (i) made fifteen (15) or more outs in the game, and/or (ii) completed all of its at-bats for five (5) innings; or
An MLB game is tied and the visiting MLB Club has NOT (i) made fifteen (15) outs or more in the game, or (ii) completed all of its at-bats for five (5) or more innings.
Under any of these circumstances, for purposes of this Contest, your streak will not end and you will receive a Pass.
Example: A participant with a streak of eleven (11) who doesn't make a Double Down Pick selects Jason Heyward to hit on the May 6th game that is suspended in the 3rd inning. Heyward goes 1-for-2 in the portion of the game that was played on May 6th. The participant's streak would remain at eleven (11).
For any Suspended Game, any hits, at bats or sacrifice flies officially scored as hits, at bats and sacrifice flies during the resumption of the Suspended Game will NOT count as valid hits, at bats or sacrifice flies for purposes of this Contest.
Example: A participant with a streak of eleven (11) who doesn't make a Double Down Pick selects Jason Heyward to hit on the May 6th game that is suspended after the 7th inning. Heyward goes 0-for-2 in the portion of the game that was played on May 6th. If the Suspended Game resumes on May 7th and Heyward hits a single in the 9th inning of that portion of the game, that single will not count as a valid hit for purposes of this Contest.
For purposes of the Contest, hit totals will not be updated to reflect any official MLB statistics changes or corrections that occur after 9:00 AM ET the following day after the selection's applicable game. Accordingly, any subsequent official MLB statistics changes will not result in recalculating any streaks in the Contest. By way of example only, in the event there is an official MLB scoring correction for a game played on Friday, July 14 that changes an error to a hit for a player you selected for that game, and the official MLB statistics change was made at 10:00 AM ET on Saturday, July 15, the scoring change would NOT be reflected in your hit streak.
Prize winners are fully responsible for any and all applicable federal, state, territory, provincial and local taxes (including income and withholding taxes). All costs and expenses associated with prize acceptance and use not specified herein as being provided including but not limited to any and all costs and expenses incurred by accepting and using any prize are the sole responsibility of the winners. Cash prizes will be awarded in the form of a check in U.S. dollars (please see specific details for the manner in which the 57-Game Hitting Streak Prize (as described below) will be awarded). Prizes are non-transferable and non-assignable, with no cash redemptions except in MLBAM's sole and absolute discretion. MLBAM reserves the right to substitute any prize (or any portion thereof) with a prize of comparable or greater value at its sole and absolute discretion. All prize details are at the sole discretion of MLBAM. NO PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED IF NO PARTICIPANT ACHIEVES A HITTING STREAK OF AT LEAST TWENTY (20) GAMES.
The first eligible participant, if any, to achieve at least a fifty-seven (57) game hitting streak, as determined by MLBAM in its sole discretion, will win five million, six hundred thousand U.S. dollars (US$5,600,000) (the "Grand Prize"). For the avoidance of doubt, a maximum of one (1) Grand Prize will be awarded for the entire Contest.
NOTE: Grand Prize will only be awarded if an eligible participant achieves a hit streak greater than or equal to fifty-seven (57), as determined by MLBAM, in accordance with these Official Rules.
The Grand Prize will be awarded as the winner's choice of either a thirty (30) year annuity or as one (1) lump sum payment representing the estimated present value of that annuity as of February 8, 2017. The annuity will be one hundred eighty-six thousand six hundred sixty-seven U.S. dollars (US$186,667) per year for thirty (30) years without interest (the "Annuity") and the lump sum payment will be the estimated present value of the Annuity as of February 8, 2017 of approximately three million five hundred seventy thousand eleven U.S. dollars and forty-three cents (US $3,570,011.43).
In the event two (2) or more eligible participants each achieve a fifty-seven (57) game streak on the same Game Day, the Grand Prize will be divided evenly among all tied, eligible entrants. For purposes of clarity, in the event two (2) or more eligible participants have a streak of fifty-six (56) going into the same Game Day, and one (1) or more of such eligible participant(s) gets to fifty-seven (57) and one (1) or more eligible participant(s) successfully makes a Double Down Pick to get to fifty-eight (58), the Grand Prize will be divided evenly among all such tied, eligible participants since they each achieved a fifty-seven (57) game hitting streak on the same day.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any eligible participant has a streak of fifty-six (56) and makes a Double Down Pick in which one of his/her selected players gets a hit, but the second player the participant selects fails to earn a hit after the player takes an at bat or has a sacrifice fly, such participant's streak would automatically end and be returned to zero.
IN NO EVENT WILL MORE THAN ONE (1) GRAND PRIZE BE AWARDED FOR THE ENTIRE CONTEST.
Top Streak Prize
If no participant achieves a 57-game hitting streak or greater during the Contest Period, as determined by MLBAM, the eligible participant with the longest hitting streak during the Contest Period greater than or equal to twenty (20), as determined by MLBAM in its sole discretion, will win ten thousand dollars (US $10,000) (the "Top Streak Prize"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Top Streak Prize will be awarded to the eligible participant that earned the longest eligible hitting streak during the Contest Period, not the longest active hitting streak at the time the Contest Period ends.
NOTE: Top Streak Prize will only be awarded if (i) no eligible participant achieves at least a fifty-seven (57) game hitting streak and (ii) an eligible participant achieves a hitting streak greater than or equal to twenty (20), as determined by MLBAM.
The Top Streak Prize will be awarded in the form of a check as one (1) lump sum payment.
In the event of a tie for the Top Streak Prize, the Top Streak Prize will be divided evenly among all tied, eligible entrants. IN NO EVENT WILL MORE THAN ONE (1) TOP STREAK PRIZE BE AWARDED.
PRIZE NOTIFICATION
Each potential winner will be notified by e-mail and/or telephone (in MLBAM's discretion) and may (in MLBAM's discretion) be confirmed by postal mail, return receipt (the "Prize Notification"). In the event that any potential winner does not respond to any such Prize Notification within five (5) calendar days of the date of issuance or declines the prize for any reason, a disqualification and prize forfeiture will result and, at MLBAM's sole and absolute discretion, the prize may be awarded to the runner-up winner (if applicable). Each potential winner may be required to submit his/her valid social security number and/or other identification to MLBAM and may be required to execute, have notarized and return an Affidavit of Eligibility (or, if a resident of Canada, a declaration) and Release of Liability and, unless prohibited by law, Publicity within five (5) calendar days of the date of issuance. Failure to submit any identification required by MLBAM or to return any required documents within the specified time period, noncompliance with these Official Rules or the return of any prize (or any portion thereof) or Prize Notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and prize forfeiture and, at MLBAM's sole and absolute discretion, the prize may be awarded to the runner-up winner(if applicable).
By registering and/or participating, each participant accepts and agrees to be bound by (i) these Official Rules, the MLB.com Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, and (ii) the decisions of MLBAM which shall be final and binding in all respects.
Each participant agrees to allow MLBAM and its designees to use their names and likenesses in any and all media or format(s) now or hereafter known for advertising and publicity purposes throughout the world in perpetuity, without any compensation, notification or permission, unless prohibited by law.

What should you look for in a credit collection services firm?
There are many choices for credit collection services. Small "Mom and Pop shops" are battling large enterprise organizations for your business. Some have a robust web presence and make use of cutting-edge technologies, while others are simply lagging behind. How can businesses make apples-to-apples features and benefits comparisons when each of the credit collection services appears so different?
Here are five characteristics of the best credit collection services.
#1 No hidden fees – fixed-price credit collection services.
Fully compliant, respectful, yet firm demand letters to remind your clients of what is owed and when it was due.
An automated thank you letter after the amount is paid.
You keep 100% of what is collected.
You stay in control by using our web-based dashboard to start or stop campaigns and approve partial payments. The web portal has a dashboard so you can track successes in real time.
If your current credit collections service cannot match these features, perhaps you should consider a change.
#2 Contingency collections targeting more difficult A/R.
Can the credit collection services company you select also handle the more difficult accounts, typically aged past 120-days? These accounts require a more personal touch with experienced collectors to work with seriously delinquent account holders. Look for skip tracing to be an important part of this service to track down more elusive account holders. Rocket Receivables also uses technology to score accounts and prioritize them according to their likelihood of payment. All of these services are offered under a pre-determined payment percentage fee based what we collect.
#3 Free consultations and a flexible service offering.
One size does not fit all in credit collection services. Look for an A/R partner that has multiple strategies for collecting past due accounts, as well as different payment options designed to fit your business. Rocket Receivables understands that accounts at less than 120 days should be approached differently than those more seriously past due. We also use powerful predictive data analytics tools to determine which accounts are more likely to pay. If your credit collection services company cannot offer this flexibility, you should walk away.
#4 Debt collector regulatory compliance.
Look for a credit collection services firm that has documented compliance with regulatory rules. Ask about their work with hospitals and government organizations, two of the most heavily regulated industries. Ask how the firm keeps track of changes in compliance laws and if you're not satisfied, speak with Rocket Receivables.
