HOW TO PLAY

To qualify you will have to stay tuned to the HarpinOnRugby Facebook page throughout the coming week and follow the instructions when the posts are published.  Below you will see the times and number of qualifiers for each post.

Click here for a more detailed explanation of how the “unriggable raffle” works.

DAY	TIME	NO. OF QUALIFIERS
MONDAY	9PM	40
TUESDAY	9PM	30
WEDNESDAY	9PM	20
THURSDAY	9PM	10

The rugby match which will provide the winner for the competition will be Leinster’s RaboDirectPRO12 clash with Ulster on May 2, 2014, kickoff 7:30pm.

The following extra rules are unfortunate but necessary.

---

 

the winner must provide an address on the island of Ireland

the competition winner will only be contacted via the social media account they used to qualify and they MUST respond within 48 hours of the final whistle in the rugby match otherwise the prize could be put back on offer to other entrants in a manner to be determined by the organisers

only one entry per separate Facebook account is allowed each day, but it’s ok to enter once on each of the four days

each window closes 3 hours after posting – if all of the spots are not taken, the extra ones will be allocated in a manner to be determined by the competition organisers.

when you are asked to leave an “exact phrase” this means you can use the phrase with OR without the quotes; also, since speed is a factor in the competition we will make allowances for typos once it is clear a decent attempt has been made to repeat the phrase

for some windows “edited” Facebook comments will not be permitted as entries…this will be outlined as part of the post where it applies

for transparency purposes your qualifying comment must remain on the social media post until at least two hours after completion of the rugby match that is to determine the competition winner.

be aware that Facebook have been known to display comments in a random order on the web; as competition organisers we will do all we can to ensure the timeline is properly followed in each window.

entrants’ positions on the grid are set and not open for discussion, nor are any other final decisions made by the competition organisers.

4. Closing time for entries is 9am (changed to 10am) on Monday, March 3, after which a draw will be made to determine the winner.
5. Check the main HarpinOnRugby site around midday when the winner’s name will be posted as part of the writeup for Leinster v Glasgow.  They will be contacted shortly afterwards.

Best of luck to all of you and once again many thanks to the IRSC for the prize!  JLP
