Once the Application is installed on your Digital Device, click on the “Register”/“Sign in” link that will appear on the landing page and follow the instructions to complete the required online registration form fields as follows: (a) enter your first and last name, your personal email address and confirm it, then create password (passwords are case sensitive and should have 8 or more characters) and confirm it; then confirm that you have read, understand and unconditionally agree to the Official Rules and the Privacy Policy by clicking on the applicable box. You will also be given the option to receive marketing emails from Sponsor. Sponsor’s marketing emails are not related to playing the In-App Game, and whether or not you elect to receive such marketing emails will have no effect on your ability to enter or your chances of winning a prize in the In-App Game. You can “opt out” at any time from receiving marketing communications from the Sponsor by visiting the “The Phillies My Account” email newsletters webpage at phillies.com or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link found in any such communication and following the instructions. Even if you do not opt in to receive marketing emails from the Sponsor or if you later opt out, Sponsor reserves the right to send you emails about the In-App Game.
Playing the Game. Once the Application is installed on your Digital Device and registration is completed, navigate to the “Citizens Bank” page and click on “Pick Three” to enter the In-App Game for the applicable Game.

Your Game Event Points total for the applicable Game will appear on your fan dashboard of the Application as soon as the electronic records for the applicable Game are updated. At the conclusion of each Entry Period, Sponsor will tabulate the total of all Game Event Points earned by each participant during the applicable Entry Period to determine the one (1) participant with the highest total number of Game Event Points earned during the applicable Entry Period (a “Top Score”). In the event of a tie or multiple ties in the highest total number of Game Event Points earned by participants during the applicable Entry Period, then the Top Score will be selected based on the average time of entry into the Application (i.e., among all participants tied for the highest Game Event Points, the participant with the Top Score will be determined based on the average actual time, as reflected in the electronic records, the participant clicked or tapped on “Pick Three” for the applicable Entry Period).
