Rules

1. The Ducky Derby is sponsored by The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley, (“BGCSV”, or “Presenter”), 100 W. Verano Ave, Sonoma, CA 95476. The Ducky Derby shall be open to anyone who can afford to buy a duck (“Entrant”).  BGCSV is tax-exempt as a Section 501(c)(3) organization.
2. A number will be attached to each duck.  Multiple duck entries on one adoption form will each be assigned a separate duck number for identification.  The person whose name appears on the adoption form corresponding to a winning duck will be awarded the corresponding prize in order of finish.  Winners will be announced at the completion of the race and individuals need not be present to win a prize.  If necessary, winners will be notified by certified mail, email, or telephone.  Positive identification will be required to claim any prize(s) won.  However, if a winner does not claim his or her prize within 30 days following the race, the Presenter will select a random alternate winner.  The Presenter will make all decisions and interpretations of the rules and regulations.  In case of inclement weather that prevents the launch of the ducks, the Presenter will announce prizes selected through a random drawing.
3. No cash equivalent or exchanges will be provided in lieu of the designated prizes.
4. The Presenter will establish the course for the race.  All ducks entered into the Derby will be provided by the Presenter and will remain the property of the Presenter.  Once the ducks are launched, they are on their own; however, wave runners and/or firehouses may be used to move the ducks down the course in the direction of the finish line.  Any attempt to free or interfere with any duck is not permitted unless deemed necessary by the Race Committee.
5. By entering the entrants release the Presenter and officers, directors and staff and other related entities from all liability with respect to prizes.  By entering, winners consent to the promotional use of their names and likeness without additional compensation.
6. The Entry portion of the Duck Adoption form must be completely filled out and delivered to the Presenter.  The Presenter must receive all mail-in entries by 5:00 p.m. on August 17th, 2011. Any Duck Adoption forms and funds received through the mail after such time will be considered a donation to the BGCSV, and not an entry in the Duck Derby. Entrants assume the risk of non-delivery of any entries to the Presenter or an authorized representative of the Presenter. Any unsold ducks may be adopted on location the day of the race beginning at 10:30 a.m. up to the time the Presenter deems appropriate before the start of the race or until all available ducks have been adopted.
7. Privacy Notice: When entering into this race, you may provide personal information, including, but not necessarily limited to your name and email address. We will only use such personal information to enter you in the Ducky Derby race and contact you if you win.  Under no circumstances will personal information be shared with any third party not related to the conducting of the event.
