    2. Coupon / postal entrants can make transfers via the website or telephone. Check your team confirmation letter for details.

  16. The winner of the Game will be the entrant whose team has scored the most number of points throughout the Game. None of the prizes will be shared. In the event of a tie on points for any of the places for which there is a prize, the highest number of tournament winners in a team will be taken into account with the team with the highest number of tournament winners being awarded the higher prize. In the event of a further tie, then the highest number of tournament seconds will be considered in the same way, then thirds, then fourths, and so on down to 20th. In the unlikely event of a further tie, the Promoter will consider the number of Best Rounds per team and then the number of Made Cuts per team. If teams are still tied at this stage then the team whose entry was received first (according to the date and time of receipt recorded by the Promoter) will be awarded the higher prize. The Promoter's decision is final and neither it nor Trinity Mirror plc nor any of its affiliate partners will enter into negotiations or any ensuing correspondence that may be associated with an appeal to the decision.
