Viewers will be encouraged to watch WFOR professional football telecasts on September 13th, (commencing at 1P) September 27th, (commencing at 4P) October 4th, November 1st (commencing at 5P) and November 8th (commencing at 1P) Each time during those games the Miami home team advances inside the opponent's 20 yard line (Red Zone) a contestant will be randomly selected from the dealership registrations and identified in real time on the cbs4.com Chevrolet Red Zone page. If the Miami home team scores a touchdown on that drive, the contestant is entered into a grand prize drawing for a new Camaro. According to the Elias Sports Bureau in New York, the official statistician of the NFL, the definition of a Red Zone possession is "Any possession that occurs inside the opponents' 20-yard line". "Inside" the 20 yardline means that the 20-yard line itself is not yet the Red Zone. The graphics used by CBS in the Eyebox scoreboard will be the official arbiter. If the Miami home team is inside the 20 (contestant is then announced on web), then lose yardage and fall outside the 20, and then gain yardage back inside the 20, that constitutes one Red Zone possession. A second contestant will not be announced on that drive.
(c) The winner will be directed to a specific South Florida Chevrolet Dealer to complete the paperwork and claim the prize. If prize is not claimed within thirty (30) days of winning, it will be forfeited by the winner WFOR is not responsible for the transfer of the prize to the winner.
