Each league (whether Public or Custom) that has at least eight teams is eligible for a prize.
After the conclusion of the Contests, the top qualifying contestant in each league of eight teams or more will win a prize commemorating the winner's 2009 Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball PLUS league championship. Approximate retail value of each prize is US $30. The total value of all prizes will depend the number of eligible leagues in the Contest.
Please note that even if your fantasy team is listed as the winner in your fantasy league as of the close of your Contest, you have not yet won a prize. All potential winners are subject to verification by the League Commissioners, and must meet all eligibility requirements before a prize will be awarded. In addition, you MUST provide valid contact information during the registration process to be considered for a prize. A user who finishes first in his/her league but who has not provided valid registration information will deemed ineligible, and the prize will be awarded to the next eligible user in that league's final standings. Please see Eligibility for Prizes for more information.
Potential prize winners will be notified by U.S. mail, email, telephone, and/or overnight courier within thirty days after the conclusion of the Contests. If you are a winner, and the League Commissioners (the Yahoo! League Office) are unable to reach you for five days after first attempt to contact you, you may be disqualified. An alternate winner may then be selected according to the standings in your league, and, if necessary, subject to the same tiebreaker requirements applicable to your league.
If you are a potential prize winner, you may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release and provide any additional information that may be required by the League Commissioners. You will be required to provide this information within five days after the League Commissioners attempt to contact you. If you fail to comply with this deadline, or if a prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the League Commissioners may disqualify you and select an alternate winner. If the League Commissioners cannot find an eligible winner for a prize, or if a winner fails to claim a prize, that prize will not be awarded.
