A. Playing
Using a Mobile Communications Enabled Device
How to Play Using a Mobile Communications Enabled Device: three (3) multiple-choice questions will appear during each Show, as specified in Section 3 above. Entrants should submit their answer for each individual question using the question number and the letter of their answer (a, b, or c) on the NBCLA Mobile Application. Point accumulation will not be a factor in each Individual Drawing but participation and number of questions answered will reflect which prizes the Entrant is eligible to win (see “Prize” section below for more information). For more information, see "Scoring" in Section 5(C). Message and Data Rates May Apply.
You must have a mobile communications subscription with a participating carrier or otherwise have access to a mobile communications network. In addition, you must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the communication network, including, but not limited to, a mobile hand set or other mobile access device that is in working order. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a mobile application entrant, the authorized account holder of the mobile telephone number used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The "Authorized Account Holder" of a mobile telephone number is defined as the natural person who is assigned the mobile telephone number by the wireless carrier as shown on the carrier's records. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the Authorized Account Holder.
Mobile Device Delays: Entries via mobile Applications may be subject to delays resulting from carrier congestion or network drop outs. Due to differences in times between servers, all mobile Entries will be time-stamped according to the time-stamp on Sponsors' server. Sponsors disclaim any liability and will make no allowance for delays in a message arriving at Sponsors' server.
B. Playing Online
How to Play Online: three (3) multiple-choice questions will appear during each Show, as specified in Section 3 above. Entrants may answer the questions online at http://www.nbcla.com/challenge. Entrants should "click" on the appropriate answer letter, represented by large boxes with A, B, or C on them. After every question, the page will refresh with the next set of selections. The quicker your response, the more points you will receive. Point accumulation will not be a factor in each Individual Drawing but participation and number of questions answered will reflect which prizes the Entrant is eligible to win (see “Prize” section below for more information). For more information, see "Scoring" in Section 5(C).
In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any online entrant, Sponsors reserve the right to deem the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter as the entrant. The "Authorized Account Holder" of an email address is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address or the natural person assigned as the account holder. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the Authorized Account Holder.
C. Scoring
Entrants will be awarded points per question based on a thirty (30) point scale. After the question is announced on-air, three (3) answers (one (1) correct answer and two (2) incorrect answers) will be revealed simultaneously. Once the first answer is removed from the screen, the maximum point value is twenty (20); after the second answer is removed, only the correct answer will remain on the screen and the maximum point value is ten (10). Answers will be removed from the screen at six (6)-second intervals. After three (3) seconds have elapsed during that six (6)-second period, the point value diminishes by five (5). For example, the point value will go from thirty (30) to twenty-five (25), to twenty (20) to fifteen (15), to ten (10). Entrants will have eighteen (18) seconds to answer each question. Entrants will receive zero (0) points if they select the wrong answer at any time, and will be locked out of the game until the next question. You cannot change your answers. Answers received after the corresponding segment ends will be disregarded. Point accumulation will not be a factor in each Individual Drawing but participation and number of questions answered will reflect which prizes the Entrant is eligible to win (see “Prize” section below for more information).

B. Playing Online
How to Play Online: three (3) multiple-choice questions will appear during each Show, as specified in Section 3 above. Entrants may answer the questions online at http://www.nbcla.com/challenge. Entrants should "click" on the appropriate answer letter, represented by large boxes with A, B, or C on them. After every question, the page will refresh with the next set of selections. The quicker your response, the more points you will receive. Point accumulation will not be a factor in each Individual Drawing but participation and number of questions answered will reflect which prizes the Entrant is eligible to win (see “Prize” section below for more information). For more information, see "Scoring" in Section 5(C).
In the event of a dispute as to the identity of any online entrant, Sponsors reserve the right to deem the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter as the entrant. The "Authorized Account Holder" of an email address is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address or the natural person assigned as the account holder. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the Authorized Account Holder.
C. Scoring
Entrants will be awarded points per question based on a thirty (30) point scale. After the question is announced on-air, three (3) answers (one (1) correct answer and two (2) incorrect answers) will be revealed simultaneously. Once the first answer is removed from the screen, the maximum point value is twenty (20); after the second answer is removed, only the correct answer will remain on the screen and the maximum point value is ten (10). Answers will be removed from the screen at six (6)-second intervals. After three (3) seconds have elapsed during that six (6)-second period, the point value diminishes by five (5). For example, the point value will go from thirty (30) to twenty-five (25), to twenty (20) to fifteen (15), to ten (10). Entrants will have eighteen (18) seconds to answer each question. Entrants will receive zero (0) points if they select the wrong answer at any time, and will be locked out of the game until the next question. You cannot change your answers. Answers received after the corresponding segment ends will be disregarded. Point accumulation will not be a factor in each Individual Drawing but participation and number of questions answered will reflect which prizes the Entrant is eligible to win (see “Prize” section below for more information).
