Persons belonging to or affiliated with a professional acting or theater organization, such as SAG or AFTRA, may not participate if such participation would require the Georgia Lottery Corporation, its contractors or licensees to pay such person a fee or any other benefit for taking part in the competition or any programs based on the competition if televised. What is the on-line registration process? All Outdoor Buddy Challenge teams will be required to complete an on-line registration form at outdoorbuddychallenge.com between March 3, 2009 and 5:00pm EST on March 31, 2009. Once the registration form has been completed in its entirety, click the “submit” button. You will receive an auto-reply confirmation email from info@outdoorbuddychallenge.com. You MUST click on the link in the email to confirm your registration before your team is successfully registered. After confirmation of your registration, you will receive an email with your team’s registration number and on-site team check-in information. Please bring this email with you to the onsite team check-in on April 4, 2009. We will only accept one on-line registration submission per team. If your team or team members are found to have registered more than once, you and your team member(s) will be disqualified. A team captain is the individual responsible for registering a team of four people into the challenge. The team captain will be the main point of contact for the team. What if a registered team member cancels before the competition? We are looking for a team of 4 individuals to represent each team. If one or more pre-registered team member’s schedule changes and they will not be present for the competition on April 4, 2009, you may provide replacement team member(s). Remember each replacement must be 18 years of age or older and present a valid ID at registration on April 4, 2009. A team member may not compete on more than one team. Duplicate team member registrations will result in team disqualification. Check-in for your team will be held on April 4, 2009 at the Bass Pro Shops® retail store located in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Your team’s check-in time will be provided to you via email. We ask that you and your team members arrive on time. Your team can only check-in for the Outdoor Buddy Challenge if you have previously completed the on-line registration. Once you have been checked in, you will be given appropriate credentials including team competition t-shirts and asked to move to the team competition holding area until the competition begins.

All team members (including team captain) must present a valid driver’s license or valid state issued photo ID and the signed Publicity & Liability Release form. You will forfeit your opportunity to compete if all team members do not have the proper ID. What happens if I am late for check-in?

If you are late for your team’s assigned check-in time, your team assumes the risk of not being able to participate in the competition. This event takes place in Lawrenceville, GA .
