Legacy Project 2019 Tournament Golf Ball Drop

1. The Contest: For a suggested minimum donation of $20* per raffle ball, age 18 or older, will be entered in the Legacy Project Golf Tournament Ball Drop to take place on March 24, 2018 at Paloma Sports Complex, 3215 S. Sossaman Rd., Mesa, Arizona. Participants may make a donation for more than one ball. Participants will be assigned a numbered golf ball (maximum of 2500).
2. The Drop: All purchased/numbered golf balls will be placed randomly into a container and dropped from a helicopter from a height of approximately 150 feet onto the assigned target. This random delivery system will be dictated by the helicopter crew. The participant whose ball goes into the hole or is closest to the hole will be declared the winner of the Golf Ball Drop and be awarded the $2500.00 prize.
3. Rules: If no golf ball goes into the hole, then the participant whose ball lands closest to the hole will be declared the winner as determined by the judges. If no golf ball goes into the hole, then the winner is determined by the measurement of the golf ball from the edge of the cup and the closet to the edge is the winner. If more than one ball lands in the hole or there are several balls the same distance from the edge of the cup, the winner will be determined by the ball number that is nearest a previously and randomly chosen number that was placed in a sealed envelope prior to the ball drop.
4. Announcement of Prize Winner: The winner need not be present to win. After the winning ball has been verified, the winners name will be announced. The winner’s name will also be posted on the Legacy Project Golf Tournament web site.
5. 5. Alternative Process: If some unforeseen event prevents the Paloma Legacy Project from being able to conduct the Golf Ball drop as outlined above, then the winner will be determined by the following alternative process: the ball number closest to a number previously and randomly chosen and placed in a sealed envelope prior to the scheduled ball drop.
