Any Participant who submits a Contest Entry that they themselves did not create may be disqualified from the Contest. Submissions that contain material or content in violation of the RSI Terms may also be disqualified. The disqualification of one Contest Entry by a Participant may result in the disqualification of any or all other Contest Entries submitted by that Participant.

12. Alternate Winners – In the event of the disqualification of a winner from Contest, RSI may, at its option, select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries submitted to the Contest during its duration.
