The Contest will have 3 Phases:

Phase 1: Contest Materials will be posted on the Site beginning August 1, 2005 at 12:01a.m. PT  through September 14, 2005 11:59 p.m. PT  for Entries in English and August 15, 2005 at 12:01a.m. PT through September 14, 2005 11:59 p.m. PT for Entries in Spanish). Contest Materials must be received and recorded by the Contest computer by September 10, 2005 at 11:59 p.m. PT to be eligible, and Contest Materials will not be accepted thereafter.

  1. Contestants compete in a series of tournament style contests ("Tournament Groups"), e.g. Tournament Group 1, Tournament Group 2, and Tournament Group 3.
  2. Each Tournament Group consists of 4 Rounds: Preliminary, Quarter- Final, Semi-Final, and Final.
  3. The competition in each Tournament Group will start as soon as 16 contestants have submitted their Contest Material, and that material is received and recorded by the Contest computer.  The 16 contestants will be randomly paired in 8 matches in the Preliminary Round of a Tournament Group with 2 contestants in each match. Should, however, there be insufficient Contestants to form a Group containing 16 Contestants, that Group will continue with the number of Contestants available for that Group in a manner fairly and equitably determined solely by Sponsor. 
  4. Each Round lasts 1 day, i.e. total of 4 days to complete a Phase I Tournament Group.  At the end of the Preliminary Round, one contestant from each match will be determined as the winner of that match.  The winners of the Preliminary Rounds are automatically entered into the Quarter-final matches: winners of Match 1 and Match 2 of the Preliminary Round are entered in Match 1 of the Quarter Final Round; winners of Match 3 and Match 4 of the Preliminary Round are entered in Match 2 of the Quarter Final Round. The Phase 1 Tournament Group Round winners will be determined in the same manner, with Quarter Final Round match winners advancing to the Semi-Final Round and the Semi-Final match winners advancing to the Final Round.
  1. The winners of each Phase 1 Tournament Group are solely determined by the votes of registered users of the Site, where each user can only vote once in any match. In the case of a tie in any match, the Contestant with the earliest submission date/time for that match is automatically determined as the winner of that match by the Contest computer system and is advanced to the next Round.
     

 Phase 2: Contest Materials will be posted on the Site beginning September 16 at 12:01 a.m. PT through September 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT

  1. Depending on the number of Phase 1 winners, the Phase 1 winners will be randomly entered in one or more Phase 2 Tournament Groups.  The configuration of the Phase 2 Tournament Groups, i.e. the number of Phase 2 Tournament Groups, the number of Rounds in each Tournament Group, the number of matches in each Round, and the number of Contestants in each match will be determined on or about September 15th, based on the number of Phase 1 winners.  The configuration of the Phase 2 Tournament Groups, and the number of Contestants in each Group, will be one or more of the following:
    1. The Tournament Group may have between 1 to 4 Rounds where:

                            i.     A 1-Round Tournament Group will have 1 match

                            ii.     A 2-Round Tournament Group will have 3 matches (2 matches in Round 1 and 1 match in Round 2)

                            iii.    A 3-Round Tournament Group will have 7 matches (4 matches in Round 1, 2 matches in Round 2 and 1 match in Round 3)

                            iv.    A 4-Round Tournament Group will have 15 matches (8, matches in Round 1, 4 matches in Round 2, 2 matches in Round 3 and 1 match in Round 4)

                            v.     Regardless of the number of Rounds, each match in the first Round may have between 2 to 5 contestants, randomly picked from Phase 1 winners and placed into each match of the Phase 2 Tournament Groups.

                            vi.     Should, however, there be insufficient Contestants to form a Group with the same number of Contestants in all of the other Groups, that Group will continue with the number of Contestants available, in a manner determined solely by Sponsor.

  1. Winners of each Phase 2 match are decided solely by the votes of registered users of the Site.  Similar to Phase I, each user can only vote once in a match. Ties will be resolved in the same manner as for Phase 1.
  1. Winners of each Phase 2 match will be notified by mail, overnight or email on or about 10/02/05, and will be then required to provide a video of himself/herself performing the song. The notification will advise if a video is required, and by the date and time when the video must be received and recorded by Sponsor's computer. Should a video be requested but not received and recorded by Sponsor's computer as stated, that Contestant may be disqualified.
     

Phase 3: Contest Materials  will be posted on the Site beginning October 16 at 12:01 a.m. PT through October 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT

  1. Phase 3 will only consist of one Tournament Group, in which the Phase 2 winners (Finalists") are randomly entered. Each Phase 3 Contestant will be required to submit a video of himself/herself singing the song. The video must be made at Contestant's expense.  Submission of the video will also be online; can be no longer than 30 seconds in play length, cannot exceed a file size of 6MB, and must be a .wmv file. The quality of the submission video's production will not be a factor for the judging panel, and we encourage Contestants to focus on the quality of their singing and performance to camera.
  1. The configuration of the Phase 3 Tournament Group, i.e. the number of Rounds in the Tournament Group, the number of matches in each Round, and the number of contestants in each match will be determined on October 1, 2005, and will depend on the number of Phase 2 winners.  The configuration of the Phase 3 Tournament Group will be one of the following:
    1. The Tournament Group may have between 1 to 4 Rounds where:

                       i.      A 1-Round Tournament Group which will have 1 match; OR

                       ii.     A 2-Round Tournament Group which will have 3 matches (2 matches in Round 1 and 1 match in Round 2); OR

                       iv.    A 4-Round Tournament Group which will have 15 matches (8, matches in Round 1, 4 matches in Round 2, 2 matches in Round 3 and 1 match in Round 4.)

                        v.   Regardless of the number of Rounds, each match in the first Round of the Phase 3 Tournament Group will have between 2 to 5 contestants, randomly picked from Phase 2 winners and placed into each match.

  1. The winners of each match in the Phase 3 Tournament Group will be decided by the combination of votes of industry expert Judges and registered users.
  1. Three or more industry expert Judges will vote in each match, each Judge scoring a contestant with one score between 1 to 10, (10 being best) for each of the following criteria: vocal quality, originality of presentation, and camera presence.  The scores of the 3 Judges for each contestant will then be averaged and will be given a weight of 80% for the determination of the winner of each match.  Judges can only score once in each match.
  2. Registered users of the Site will also vote for their favorite contestants in the matches.  The votes of the registered users will carry a 20% weight in the determination of the winner of each match. The English language and the Spanish language Contestants who receive the highest combined judge and registered user votes scores will be declared the respective winners.
  3. In the event of a tie, the tied entry with the highest score in the vocal quality criterion will be declared the winner. If tie continues then the tied entry with the highest score in the originality of presentation will be declared the winner. Should a tie continue, a new judge will judge the tied entries based on the original criteria.
  4. Winners will be notified by mail, overnight mail or email on or about 11/07/05.
