Sweepstakes for sweet skates

A raffle is a gambling competition in which people obtain numbered tickets, each ticket having the chance of winning a prize. At a set time, the winners are drawn at random from a container holding a copy of every number. The drawn tickets are checked against a collection of prizes with numbers attached to them, and the holder of the ticket wins the prize.

To make skating events more interesting a proposing idea of having a raffle draw for participating skaters of events has been thought of.

(At this time, the rules and process of the raffle are still being worked out and skaters are being asked for feedback. The implementation of the raffle events, is set for 2021)

Process

• At the end of each completed skating event, skaters will be given a raffle ticket that will match a prize.
• At the end of the month, one raffle event will occur and a video will be made of it. The video will then be posted on a video hosting platform such as youtube.
• Available prizes for the raffle will be publicly posted online on a raffle web-page. Identified for the period that are valid for.
• There will be as many draws for the raffle event as prizes are available. ie: 2 prizes equals to 2 draws for 2 people. One prize, equals to one draw for one person.
• Details about the raffle draw will be posted publicly online as well as who were the winners.

Raffle rules

• The skating event organizer cannot participate in the raffle as a contestant.
• The raffle will always always award the prize. The draw will be done from participating numbers.
• Any skater that completes the event in which participation occurred is eligible to receive a raffle.
• No skater may win more than one prize regardless of how many raffles owned.
• Once a skater wins a prize, that skater is automatically removed from the subsequent draws regardless of how may raffles may still hold.
• Any skater may chose to give away their raffle to another skater.
• Any skater can collect as many raffles as per event completed. (More events attended equals to higher chances to win).
• To collect the prize, the winner must attend at least one of the next two following events to collect the prize that was won. If the winner misses any of those two following events, the winner loses ownership of the prize and the prize will then be available for a new raffle draw for the following month.

Raffle prizes

Raffle prizes must be:

• Kept at the responsibility of the event organizer or prize provider (in case or commercial/store sponsorship).
• Exclusively related to the skating activity (quad skating/inline skating).
• Goods only such as: skates, wheels, tools, bearings, protective gear, skates, lubricants, frames, cones, liners, skating clothing, etc.

Raffle goods

A few methods to obtain the goods for prizes have been thought of and they include but not limited to:

• Sponsorship from a sporting store which will donate the goods that will be the prizes. The winner can then collect at the store if the store sets that rule. This will mean that the event will advertise the store.
• Donated goods by any skater that may have something that is not wanted anymore.
• Paid raffle for a small amount like $5 cad per raffle that will then be used to purchase the goods for the prize
