Review and Additional Information
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.
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 (1) or (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 (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). New for 2013: If you choose to not make a selection on any game day, your streak will not end.
HOW TO PLAY
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"):
A. 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;
B. If all of your selected players' plate appearances (one or more) result in a base on balls, hit batsman, defensive interference or obstruction or a sacrifice bunt;
C. 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);
D. If you fail to select a player for any Game Day; or
E. If the Mulligan feature applies, described above.
Participants will be allowed to make (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:
1. If the participant has already made a Double Down Pick for that Game Day;
2. Once a participant has made a Double Down Pick, and (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
3. If the participant has made (1) pick on a Game Day, and that (1) pick has passed his applicable lock time for that Game Day, a Double Down pick cannot be added for that Game Day.
