Official Rules For 2013 Breeder Challenge
- The following are the Official Rules & Regulations (the "Official Rules") for the 2013 Breeder Challenge (the "Challenge") sponsored by LONEHOLLOW WHITETAILS, LLC and ROCKSTAR WHITETAILS, LLC (jointly, "Sponsor" or "Sponsor's). Participation in the Challenge by a Participant constitutes such Participant's unconditional agreement to and acceptance of the Official Rules.
- Goal - The goal of the Challenge is to determine which breeder, individual or farm, including Sponsor (each, a "Participant") breeds the largest 2015 Yearling Buck from GLADIATOR XL Semen ("GXL Semen") purchased from Sponsor as determined by the Safari Club International ("SCI") total score.
- Two (2) Challenge Categories – Texas bred ("Texas") and Non-Texas ("Foreign") bred buck yearlings.
- Challenge Eligibility – Participants who purchase GXL Semen from Sponsor and use for 2013 breeding season and Sponsor.
- Limitation on GXL Semen – Other than GXL Semen utilized by Sponsor or made available through special industry events, a maximum of thirty (30) straws will be available for each of the Texas and Foreign Categories. Each entrant may purchase a maximum of three (3) straws in each category directly from Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any entrant may purchase any amount of straws offered at special industry events, if any.
- Challenge Reward – $50,000 for the largest 2015 Yearling Buck based on total SCI Score in each of the Texas and Foreign categories (total Challenge Reward of $100,000).
- Scoring & Judging – The "unofficial" winner in each category will be determined by an "official SCI scorer" selected by Sponsor. The winner in the Texas category will be determined at the 2016 Texas top 30 sale and the Foreign category winner will be determined at the 2016 Top 30 North sale. Each Participant shall deliver to Sponsor the antlers from the 2015 Yearling Buck to be judged in the Challenge. In addition, each Participant shall deliver either photos or a video showing the width of the inside span in accordance with SCI rules. The antlers and photos/video are to be delivered on or before the day of judging. Any Participant who fails to deliver antlers and photographic evidence will be disqualified. All antlers must be in "hard horn" as no velvet is allowed. All antlers will be returned to the owners.
- Official Determination – a core sample will be taken from each winning antler per category and submitted to DNA Solutions for verification that GLADIATOR XL is the sire. Upon confirmation from DNA Solutions that GLADIATOR XL is the sire, the unofficial winner will become "official" and the Challenge Reward will become due and payable. Should DNA Solutions determine that GLADIATOR XL is not the sire of the unofficial winner, then such unofficial winner will be disqualified and the Challenge Reward will be "unofficially" awarded to the 2nd place finisher, subject to "official" verification of the sire as set forth herein.
- Photographs & Publicity – all participants agree that any photographs and videos submitted as part of the Challenge and any photos or videos of the antlers or events, including judging, may be utilized by Sponsor for promotion and marketing purposes, including, but not limited to promoting or marketing Sponsor, the event, similar events and the offspring of GLADIATOR XL.
