PRIZE GIVEAWAY DETAILS

WHEN: DOTY prize giveaway winners will also be announced on Friday, February 14th, 2020 (approximately one week after DOTY Award winners have been announced to ensure that the voter prize giveaway aspect of our event does not overshadow the honor and recognition of the DOTY Award winners)[/list]

WHERE: DOTY prize giveaway winners will be announced on the official DOTY Awards thread here[/list]

HOW: To prevent any questions or confusion there may be regarding exactly how the prize giveaway drawing will be done, I'll explain precisely how I'll been keeping track of participants and how the winners will be chosen to provide as much transparency as possible to eliminate any doubt of bias. As all of you know, I will be tabulating votes solo and, therefore, I'll be the only one to know exactly all that have participated and how they will have voted - I will deliberately keep these details to myself as to ensure this entire process will not be influenced in any way. And, in tabulating votes, I'll also be keeping track of all participants more or less in the order in which they submit votes.

1.) AUTOMATIC GIVEAWAY ENTRY & CONFIRMATION

• Unless a voter participant explicitly states to opt out of the prize giveaway, everyone that voted for the DOTYs automatically gets exactly ONLY ONE entry into the prize giveaway and has the same chance as everyone else that participated.
• Everyone that submits votes for the DOTY awards will receive an *official* confirmation message back in response to assure that your votes have been accounted for. If you, for whatever reason did in fact submit votes but did not instantly receive a confirmation message back, please be patient as it might take some time to tabulate. In the event that the voting time period is drawing to a close and in it's final last 3 days and you still have not recieved a confirmation message, please contact me as soon as possible so we can ensure that your votes have been submitted and you are entered in the giveaway.
• In the confirmation message, it will also state that you have been automatically entered into the prize giveaway contest UNLESS you explicitly write back that you choose to opt out of being entered. For those that would like to opt out, please also let me know as soon as possible (if you hadn't done so when you submitted your votes already) so I can withdraw your entry. I want to avoid announcing the giveaway prize winners as selected through the random drawing and then only after having those winners announced, those wishing to opt out stating they don't want to participate... because then we'd have to re-draw to select new winners and it would make it all the more complicated considering that prizes are given away based on the order in which they are selected by winners. So, pleasepleaseplease let me know if you would like to opt out - otherwise, as I said, you are automatically entered and there's the chance your name will be drawn whether you like it or not.
• The administrators of UC reserve all rights to revoke anyone's right to participation in voting should there be any suspicion of dishonest activities. (this also includes their entry into the prize giveaway contest)

2.) RANDOM GIVEAWAY DRAWING (via random number generator)

• When voting officially closes, I will use the total number voters to assign a random number to each participant (only with the exception of excluding those participants that have expressly opted out of the giveaway contest). But since I not only know the voters and the random numbers assigned to them but am also entered into the giveaway as well as a participant, I will NOT be conducting the drawing as it'd be a clear conflict of interest; instead, I will be passing on ONLY the total number to another mod (even though they may also be entered into the drawing for their own participation, they will not know their own assigned random number) who will then enter the total into a random number generator that will be used to create a list.
• Giveaway prizes from our sponsors will be chosen by assigned winners in the order by which final placement of recipients were listed as randomly generated by a number randomizer used by the Administrators.
• The first number generated by the random number generator, will be the first on the list and each number drawn thereafter will continue to be added to the list to denote the order in which prizes will be selected. So for example, if your randomly assigned number is the 3rd to be drawn, your name will be 3rd on the list of giveaway winners and you can only select among the available prizes after the 1st and 2nd place winner have selected. I hope this makes sense but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll try my best to further clarify.

Although this seems like a more complicated process rather than just drawing for each prize and just assigning winners those prizes, this selection process seemed to work pretty well last year and allows winners the most choice in what prize they'd like to receive. Think of it like playing tag among the winners, going from one to the next until all prizes are claimed for

If there are any other questions or concerns regarding the giveaway, please let me know but I hope this all helps to clarify everything.

• After givewaway prize winners have been announced on Friday, February 14th, 2020 on the official DOTY thread, additionally, a message will be sent to all of those that have been randomly drawn to inform them of their win and request that they respond to claim their prize. From that moment on, those lucky giveaway winners will have until the following Monday, February 17th, 2020 (approximately 72hrs) to respond either publically in a post or privately through a message that they will be present and reachable to participate in claiming and selecting a prize from the giveaway among those available.
• In the event that a drawn prize giveaway recipient does not respond to attempts made in contacting them through the message sent, they will automatically forfeit their ability to participate in selecting an available prize from the giveaway. If this occurs, the participent will simply be removed from our list of winning giveaway recipents and all those listed below will be moved up one slot allowing for one more additional winner to be drawn to fill the last available spot in accordance to the number of prizes available for selection.

2.) TRANSFER OF GIVEAWAY PRIZE

• Unless a voter participant explicitly states to opt out of the prize giveaway, everyone that voted for the DOTYs automatically gets exactly ONLY ONE entry into the prize giveaway and has the same chance as everyone else that participated.
• Requests for one participant's entry to go towards another participant as a way to opt out while giving another better odds in the drawing will NOT be accepted nor allowed. If you do happen to be randomly drawn and win selection of a prize in the giveaway and still would like to give that prize to someone else, please arrange that privately with that person and make selection of your prize on their behalf as they wish but all coordination should be done outside of this event as it will not be officially recognized otherwise.

3.) SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS & RECIEVEMENT OF PRIZE

• Every donation of the prize giveaway contest is a gift of great generosity from those participating sponsors/donors to support the UC DOTY event, contributed completely on their own free will and accord. With that said (and as stated in the official DOTY rules of participation), the sponsors/donors of the offered prizes, as selected by winning recipents, completely determine the terms and conditions in regards to shipping arrangements. Some donors take on any and all associated costs of shipping regardless of where in the world the prize is being recieved, which is waaaay above and beyond, but an offer that should/can not be expected in every/any circumstance from every donor as each and every prize donation is different and may have varying degrees of challenges/constraints regarding shipment of prizes and/or means of the donor by which to do so.
• In order for recipents to recieve their selected prize giveaway, they are required to personally reach out to donors through a message either here at UC or elsewhere and confirm to be in contact to discuss the best option by which shipping arrangements can be mutually agreed upon by both parties. Whether or not details of shipping arrangements were stated prior to prize selection, as a winner, it is generally most courteous to offer what you can to help offset shipping costs whenever/wherever possible, especially in cases when shipping is exceptionally high as with international folks. Keep in mind, the prize(s) itself are being provided completely free of charge from the wholehearted kindness of the donors and offering to financially contribute and chip in towards the costs to ease the burden of shipping expenses is a gesture of goodwill and appreciated consideration from winners to receive their gifted prize(s).
• Now, it's understandable if the prize winner/recipient also cannot contribute (or only contribute very little) to meet the costs of shipping expenses and/or the donor and prize winner cannot come to a mutually agreed upon solution by which to send/recieve the donated prize, as was the case expressed by others last year who then chose a different available prize from another donor. However, in the case that there is no other available prize optiosn from which the winner may select from and shipping arrangements cannot be agreed upon by both parties of those that are available, I regret to inform that this particular recipent will unfortunately have no other choice but to decline the giveaway prize as offered and forfeit their participation in the giveaway.

NOTE: The administrators and moderators of UC reserve the right to amend any of the rules above without prior notice.

I would like to donate at least a half brick of decks and the choice of one of my paintings. I understand some like to collect cards only so it is completely ok to decline the painting. No offense will be taken.

Shipping in the US will be covered in full by me. Shipping outside of the US, I will try to cover as well. I am unfamiliar with international shipping rates, I expect them to be higher, but if I deem them too much, I may request to split shipping.

I will post pictures of the cards here and the choice of paintings when I can.

I would also like to request another video of the unrivaled selection and packaging prowess of our own 2piece.

I can donate a mixed brick. Decks TBD.
Unless you would prefer two mixed half bricks??
Either way I am happy to pay for the shipping.
