Prize & Winner Selection Policy

This policy explains how prizes work on Grigg Predictor, operated by Paul and Emily Grigg Ltd (company number 13613943, registered office 8 Rectory Close, Maisemore, Gloucester, England, GL2 8FL) ("we", "us", "our"): how a winner is decided, how a prize is provided, and what happens if something goes wrong. It forms part of our Terms & Conditions — by entering a tournament that offers a prize, you agree to this policy as well.

Grigg Predictor is free to enter. You never need to pay anything, buy anything, or hold a paid subscription to be eligible for a prize in any tournament — winning is based purely on prediction skill, scored the same way for every player.

Available to players in countries where skill-based prize competitions are lawful. Prize-competition law varies significantly around the world — some countries restrict or ban them entirely, others require local registration or impose conditions we haven't reviewed for every jurisdiction. It's your responsibility to check that entering, and accepting a prize if you win one, is permitted where you live before you take part in a tournament that offers one.

We may ask a winner to confirm their country of residence and eligibility before a prize is provided, and may withhold or substitute a prize (see Section 6) where we reasonably believe providing it would break the law where the winner lives.

At the end of a tournament (or a specific competition within it, where a prize is tied to something narrower than the whole tournament), the winner is whoever ranks first on that tournament's standings — the same ranking and points you see on the live leaderboard throughout, not a separate calculation done afterwards.

Ranking is based on total points first. Where two or more players are exactly tied on points, we go down the following tie-breakers in order, stopping at the first one that separates them:

If every one of those is genuinely identical — vanishingly unlikely, but possible — we'll treat it as a tie and split or duplicate the prize at our discretion, acting reasonably and telling both players how we've resolved it.

A prize may be cash, a physical item (for example a shirt), or something else we describe when the tournament is set up — provided by us, by a third-party sponsor, or jointly, depending on the arrangement for that specific tournament. Where a tournament offers a prize, we'll make clear what it is before or when the tournament opens for entries.

Whether we or the sponsor handle getting the prize to the winner varies by arrangement — either way, we remain responsible for making sure it actually happens, and for being the point of contact if it doesn't.

Any tax owed on a prize is the winner's own responsibility — we don't gross up a prize's value or provide tax advice.

Occasionally a prize can't be provided exactly as described — because of where a winner lives, a supply issue, or something else outside our control. Where that happens, we'll offer a reasonable alternative at our discretion — normally a substitute prize of similar value, decided case by case rather than by a fixed formula, and we'll explain our reasoning to the winner when we do.

We may update this policy from time to time, for example as prize arrangements change. We'll post the updated version here with a new effective date, and let you know if the changes are significant.
