If the participant does not provide any indication of preference, they provide their general agreement that the provision of the character name and server being played on is sufficient as identification. Should the participant prefer to eschew any form of identification, they may indicate as such in their entry.

(4) Each participant is permitted only one entry. Entries submitted outside of the participation period as well as multiple entries, including entries linked to different accounts, will not be considered.
