All entries will be weighted proportionally to reflect the number of chances each participant has earned. This ensures that the draw is entirely chance-based, fair, and impartial.
Record-Keeping and Documentation
A detailed record of the selection process, including the date, time, method, and an internal staff member’s verification of the draw, will be retained for auditing and accountability. This documentation serves as a safeguard to maintain transparency.
Notification of Participants
The selected finalist will be notified within 24 hours of the initial random draw. By entering the competition, participants agree that the selection process will be conducted in this manner. The Crankworx team will also notify the public that the finalist was chosen in a fair and transparent process.
