Then, follow the online instructions to register as a Book Club Organizer or Book Club Member. EACH CONTESTANT MUST REMEMBER THAT HE/SHE CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST AS A BOOK CLUB MEMBER UNLESS HE/SHE HAS BEEN INVITED TO DO SO BY A BOOK CLUB ORGANIZER OR ANOTHER BOOK CLUB MEMBER. EACH CONTESTANT CAN ONLY PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST IN ONE (1) CLUB (EITHER AS A BOOK CLUB ORGANIZER OR BOOK CLUB MEMBER – CONTESTANTS CANNOT BE BOTH). ONCE A CONTESTANT REGISTERS AS A BOOK CLUB ORGANIZER OR JOINS A CLUB AS A BOOK CLUB MEMBER, HE/SHE CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN ANOTHER CLUB.
1. Book Club Organizer: To register as a Book Club Organizer, a prospective Book Club Organizer must fill out the Book Club Organizer registration form. Information required on the Book Club Organizer Contest registration form consists of prospective Book Club Organizer’s Email Address, First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Street Address (no P.O. Boxes), City, State, Zip Code, Daytime Phone Number (with area code), and Gender (collectively, “Registration Information”). Book Club Organizer’s Club will be “organized” and acquire one (1) point after the Book Club Organizer successfully submits his/her Registration Information. Immediately after registering, each Book Club Organizer will receive a confirmation message stating that he/she has organized a Club. Once a Book Club Organizer receives that message, he/she will be encouraged to score more points for his/her Club by correctly answering one or more of the multiple choice questions in the Initial Quiz. The Initial Quiz is only available immediately after a Book Club Organizer receives the confirmation message. A Book Club Organizer’s Club will receive one point for each Initial Quiz question he/she answered correctly, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, provided that he/she completes the entire Initial Quiz in one online session. If a Book Club Organizer chooses not to take the Initial Quiz, quits the Initial Quiz midstream, or exits the Web Site prior to responding to all the respective questions for the Initial Quiz for any reason, he/she will not have the opportunity to go back to the Initial Quiz later or do all or any part of the Initial Quiz again and he/she will receive no points for the Initial Quiz for his/her Club, even if he/she correctly answered any one or more questions before he/she abandoned the Initial Quiz. A Book Club Organizer can score more points for his/her Club by returning to the Web Site to complete Weekly Quizzes which will be posted the Tuesday of each week (starting August 12, 2008) during the Contest Period (maximum 5 points for each of the nine (9) Weekly Quizzes). If a Book Club Organizer organizes a Club after any of these Weekly Quizzes have been released he/she will have an opportunity to complete the earlier released Weekly Quizzes. If a Book Club Organizer chooses to take any Quiz, he/she will be directed to answer each Quiz question (from the four (4) possible multiple choice responses provided for each Quiz question). If a Book Club Organizer answered any Quiz question incorrectly, he/she will not be given another chance to answer correctly that same question and he/she will not be told the correct answer. Only after a Book Club Organizer completes the respective Quiz will he/she be told of the total number of points he/she scored for his/her Club. In addition, a Book Club Organizer can score more points for his/her Club by recruiting Book Club Members among his/her friends. If a Book Club Organizer is interested in recruiting new Book Club Members for his/her Club, he/she must provide to his/her friends the unique URL or 6-digit Club I.D.

Individuals that a Book Club Organizer recruits for his/her Club must be personally known to him/her and be individuals he/she sincerely believes might be interested in participating in this Contest and his/her Club. Book Club Organizers must NOT contact individuals unknown to them as they may perceive their contact as unwanted and impinging upon their privacy. If Sponsor or Contest Administrator determines that a Book Club Organizer has contacted or attempted to contact individuals not known to him/her or that he/she may be using this Contest as a means of annoying, harassing, abusing, bothering, threatening or badgering any individual, the Book Club Organizer and his/her Club will be disqualified and Sponsor may take all other measures deemed necessary, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
