Every participant may earn and purchase entries to the drawing, but any person who already has an entry to Pinburgh 2025 is NOT ELIGIBLE to win the drawing. If their name is drawn, that person awarded $50, and a new name is selected. The drawing will continue until an eligible person is selected. The prize is NON-TRANSFERRABLE once awarded. If the person who wins the Pinburgh 2025 ticket cannot attend, they will be given the cash value of the ticket ($350) by the Pinburgh organizers, as long as they contact Pinburgh within 7 days of the draw. The ticket CANNOT be sold or transferred to anyone.

•When an entry is earned, that entry is assigned the name of a person who is attending the tournament.

•When an entry is purchased, that entry can be assigned the name of any person who is attending the tournament. It does not need to be the name of the person who purchased the ticket. This allows a person or group who already has Pinburgh 2025 tickets, and is therefor ineligible to win the drawing, to increase the chance of winning of another

attendee who is eligible.

Trophies or prizes will be awarded the winners and/or runners-up of each tournament and consolation match - To Be Announced at the time of the tournament. There is no dedicated prize pool for this event.
