      1. Bracket Battle Contest:
        1. Bracket Battle Judging Phase: During the Judging Phase, qualified judges determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion will select the top thirty-two (32) Photos (each a "Finalist") based on the following criteria ("Judging Criteria"):

          Any votes a Photo has received prior to the Judging Phase will go towards that Photo's score in the Public Appeal category of the Judging Criteria. In the event of a tie, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will determine the Finalist based on the Photo that received the highest score in the Creativity/Originality category. Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than thirty-two (32) Finalists, if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Submissions.

        2. Voting Round Phases: During the Bracket Battle Voting Round 1 Phase, the Finalists will be posted in an online gallery for public voting at www.smartouchgloves.com/misfit, with the Finalist Photos broken into sixteen (16) pairs, each pair competing against each other for votes. Individuals who meet the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 1 will be invited to vote for the Photo in each pair they believe is the best. The sixteen (16) Finalists in each pair that receive the highest number of votes in their pair during Round 1 will advance to the Voting Round 2 Phase. During the Voting Round 2 Phase, the Sweet Sixteen Photos will be broken into eight (8) pairs, each pair competing against each other for votes. The eight (8) Photos in each pair that receive the highest number of votes in their pair during Round 2 will be advance to the Voting Round 3 Phase. During the Voting Round 3 Phase, the Elite Eight Photos will be broken into four (4) pairs, each pair competing against each other for votes. The entrants of the four (4) Photos in each pair that receive the highest number of votes in their pair during Round 3 will be deemed the potential Final Four winners and advance to the Voting Round 4 Phase. During the Voting Round 4 Phase, the Final Four Photos will be broken into two (2) pairs, each pair competing against each other for votes. The two (2) Photos in each pair that receive the highest number of votes in their pair during Round 4 will advance to the Voting Round 5 Phase. During the Voting Round 5 Phase, the Top Two Photos will compete against each other for votes. The entrant with the Photo that receives the highest number of votes during Round 5 will be deemed the potential Contest Grand Prize winner, and the entrant with the remaining Photo will be deemed the potential Contest First Prize winner.

In case of a tie, the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will select the potential winner based on an application of the Judging Criteria.

Entrants are prohibited from obtaining votes by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes or other inducements to members of the public, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Multiple voters are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any voter to obtain more than the stated number of votes by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that voter's votes and that voter may be disqualified. Use of any automated program to vote will result in disqualification.

      3. Sweepstakes: : Sponsor's decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and selection of potential Sweepstakes winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries on or around December 23, 2011 and will notify each potential winner by email at that time.
    4. Winner Requirements: Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. Except where prohibited, each potential Bracket Grand and First Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if a winner is a minor in his/her place of residence) will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release, which must be received by Administrator within seven (7) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to execute and return the Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits the prize.

Winner accepts and acknowledges that Sponsor shall not be obligated to use the Photo and that Sponsor in its sole discretion shall have the right to refrain from using the Photo.
