4. How to Enter: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASES DO NOT INCREASE ODDS OF WINNING. There are
two (2) methods of entry. By participating in the Promotion in any way you will become an “Entrant.” Each
Entrant who enters using one of the below method of entry will receive one (1) entry in the Promotion. Limit
one (1) eligible entry per person and per phone number.
Text Entry: During the Promotion Period, you will automatically become an Entrant and receive one
(1) entry in the Promotion by: (a) locating the keyword found on signage at participating Academy Sports +
Outdoors retail locations, at the Bassmaster Classic launch, and/or at the Bassmaster Classic Expo; and (b)
texting the keyword to 22369 (your “Text”). Your Text must be received during one of the Daily Entry
Periods set forth in Table 1 to be eligible. Your Text is your electronic signature agreeing to these terms and
giving electronic written consent for Sponsor to recurring autodialed marketing text messages to the mobile
number you provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase or entry. For a paper copy of the terms and
conditions call 888-922-2336. Reply HELP for help; Reply STOP to withdraw consent. Message and data rates
may apply. You may “opt-out” of all future marketing and promotional communications and may withdraw
consent at any time. For details, see Sponsor’s privacy policy at https://academy.com/privacy-policy and
Sponsor’s SMS Terms at https://www.academy.com/sms-terms. Opting out will not affect your odds of winning
unless Sponsor is unable to contact you as a result.
Online Form Entry: During the Promotion Period, you will automatically become an Entrant and
receive one (1) entry in the Promotion by completing and submitting an official entry form which can be
accessed by visiting www.Academy.com/bassmaster (your “Online Entry”). Your Online Entry must be
received during one of the Daily Entry Periods set forth in Table 1 to be eligible.
5. Conditions of Entry: By entering or participating in this Promotion, Entrant agrees to be bound by these
Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor and its authorized representatives, which are final and binding in all
matters concerning this Promotion. Entries not legitimately submitted in accordance with these Official Rules
are void. Only qualified entries received by Sponsor during the Promotion Period are eligible for participation.
All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.
Entrants may be required to provide the following personal information in order to be eligible for a Promotion
prize: first, middle and last name, month, day and year of birth, email address, complete mailing address
(including city, state or province, and zip or postal code) and phone number (including area code) (collectively
or individually, “Personal Information”). All requested Personal Information must be provided to participate
in the Promotion and to be eligible to win a prize. Unintelligible entries; entries with incomplete, invalid,
incorrect or noncurrent information; entries that are counterfeit, damaged or tampered with in any way; and
entries with printing, production or typographical errors will be disqualified. Disqualified entries and entries
that are late, lost, damaged, misdirected, stolen or not delivered are not the responsibility of Sponsor and will
be disqualified. Sponsor is not responsible if a potential winner does not receive his or her prize because
erroneous, expired, canceled, fraudulent or fake information was provided during Promotion. Proof of sent
entry and/or entry receipt (such as a copy of a “thank you” screen or message) does not constitute proof of
actual receipt of entry by Sponsor for purposes of this Promotion.
3
Participation must be by Entrant. Participation by any other individual or entity, and/or originating at any other
website, email address or phone number, including, but not limited to, commercial promotion, subscription
notification and/or promotion entering service sites, is invalid and will be disqualified from this Promotion.
Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple email
addresses, phone numbers, identities, registrations or logins; entries through a sweepstakes club or similar
entity; or any other unauthorized method of entry will void all of Entrant’s entries and Entrant will be
disqualified from the entire Promotion. Submitting mass entries or entries generated by an automated
program, script or macro, or the use of any other similar device, program or method to enter this Promotion is
prohibited and will result in disqualification.
In the event of a dispute as to the identity of Entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address or
phone number used to enter will be deemed to be Entrant. A potential winner may be required to show proof
of being the authorized account holder. The “authorized account holder” of an email address or a phone
number is the natural person assigned to that the email address or phone number by a service provider or any
other organization (business, educational institution, etc.) responsible for assigning accounts to that email
address or phone number. If the identity of the individual who actually participated in the Promotion cannot
be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected individual’s entry will be deemed ineligible.
Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be in violation of these Official Rules,
tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion (including, but not limited to, tampering
with websites, email addresses or phone numbers), or acting in a non-sportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any
attempt to undermine the operation of the Promotion may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and Sponsor
may seek damages to the fullest extent permitted by law from any person it finds to have made such an
attempt.

Actual value of prize may vary. No compensation or substitution will be provided for any difference in prize
value. Sponsor shall in no way be responsible for any cancellations, delays, postponements, diversions,
substitutions, changes in service or accommodations, or any other act, omission, or result thereof, caused by
any third party. All prizes must be accepted as awarded without substitution and are not, in whole or in part,
assignable, transferable or available for resale. Prizes have no cash surrender value, except where required by
law. Sponsor has made no warranty, representation or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, with
respect to any prize. This includes, without limitation, any warranty, representation or guarantee related to
any prize’s quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Prizes are subject to availability and Sponsor may
substitute a prize (or a component thereof) with another prize (or component thereof) of equal or greater
value if the prize is not available for any reason, as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Federal, state, and
local taxes and all other costs and expenses associated with acceptance and use of any prize not specified
herein as being awarded are the winner’s sole responsibility. Prize specific terms and conditions apply. If the
winner elects not to partake in any portion of the prize, any remainder of the prize that is unused will be
forfeited and will not be subject to further or additional compensation.
Any prize details not specified above will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. If a winner is
disqualified, not eligible or for any other reason cannot accept the prize as stated, then Sponsor may randomly
select a new winner from the pool of eligible Entrants. The winners will be required to submit, where legal, a
completed and signed Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability & Publicity Release (the “Release”), along with a
properly completed U.S. Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, within the required
time period to be eligible to receive any prize (if applicable; required time period will be communicated in the
Release).
7
Only the number of each prize set forth in these Official Rules will be awarded. In the event that technical or
any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be
available and/or claimed, Sponsor may award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing from
among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.
7. Winner Determination and Verification: The selection of a potential prize winner (the “Prize Drawing”) is
within the sole discretion of Sponsor. Prize Drawings will take place according to the schedule outlined in Table
1. For each Prize Drawing,six (6) potential winners will be randomly selected from the pool of eligible entries
received up until the close of that date’s Daily Entry Perioring the Promotion Period. Non-winning entries will
be rolled over to any remaining Prize Drawings. Winning entries will not be eligible to participate in any
subsequent Prize Drawings under this Promotion.
Potential winners are each subject to eligibility verification, on an ongoing basis, by Sponsor, whose decisions
are final and binding. An Entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if notified of being a winner and/or issued
any item of value, unless and until Entrant’s eligibility has been, and continues to be verified to the
satisfaction of Sponsor.
To be verified as eligible to receive a prize, each potential winner must fulfill all requirements and continue to
comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and not be disqualified for any reason. Each
potential winner will be notified by email (subject to Sponsor’s discretion). If a potential winner of any prize
cannot be contacted using the information provided or fails to respond to Sponsor’s attempt to notify them of
selection within a reasonable period of time (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion); if any prize or
notification is returned as undeliverable or yields an error or undeliverable type “bounce back” email
(regardless if the message is ultimately delivered to the recipient); if the potential winner fails to sign and
return the Release or any other required documentation or fails to comply with these Official Rules or with the
reasonable directions or instructions of Academy personnel; if a potential winner is unable or unwilling to
accept the prize as stated; or if the potential winner cannot be verified as eligible for any other reason at any
time before, during or after the Promotion Period, the potential winner is disqualified and forfeits the prize
and an alternate will be selected.
In the event that an Entrant is disqualified for any reason, the foregoing process will be repeated until the prize
is awarded or until three (3) attempts have been made to award the prize and each attempt has failed. Sponsor
will identify each potential winner and verify the potential winner’s eligibility. If unable to verify the potential
winner’s eligibility, Sponsor will select an alternative potential winner within a reasonable time thereafter.
In any case, the final winner[s] will be determined, and the prize[s] will be awarded, within a reasonable time
after the end of the Promotion Period. A winners list may be obtained by printing the requestor’s name,
address, city, state and zip code on a 3×5″ postcard and mailing it to Academy Sports + Outdoors, Attn: 2023
Bassmaster Classic Sweepstakes Winner List, 1800 North Mason Road, Katy, TX 77449. Limit one (1) request
per person, per household.
Odds of winning any prize depend on the number of eligible entries received
8. Limitations of Liability: By entering or participating in this Promotion in any way, each Entrant, and winner
agrees to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor, B.A.S.S. LLC, and Content Hosts, other
related legal entities if applicable, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, advertising or
promotional agencies and distributors, and each of their respective parent companies and each such
8
company’s officers, directors, employees and agents, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings
and children) and household members of each such individual (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and
against any claim or cause of action related to this Promotion, including, but not limited to, infringement of
any right of publicity or intellectual property; threatened or actual injury, loss or damage to any person,
including death and disability; defamation or portrayal in a false light (intentional and unintentional); invasion
of privacy; and damage to or loss of property, arising out of such Entrant’s participation in the Promotion or
receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize. In no event will Released Parties be responsible or liable for any
damages or losses of any kind, including indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of
this Promotion. (Some jurisdictions may not allow the limitations or exclusion of liability for incidental or
consequential damages or exclusion of implied warranties. Check local laws for restrictions regarding these
limitations or exclusions.)
Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in these Official Rules. The Released Parties are not responsible
for: (1) technical failures of any kind; (2) incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Entrants, any
internet or email service provider, any promotional or advertising agency, printing or computing errors, or by
any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion; (3) unauthorized human
intervention in any part of the entry process or the Promotion; (4) technical or human error that may occur in
the administration of the Promotion, the processing of entries or the announcement of the winner and prize;
(5) any injury or damage to persons or property that may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,
by Entrant’s participation in the Promotion; (6) the receipt, use or misuse of any prize; or (7) any other errors
in any materials, information or announcements associated with the Promotion. If for any reason an Entrant’s
entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted by Sponsor,
Entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the Promotion, subject to availability and provided that the Promotion
has not then expired.
9. Publicity and Entry Materials: Except where prohibited, participation in the Promotion and/or acceptance
of any prize constitutes each Entrant’s and the winner’s consent to Sponsor’s use of his or her name, likeness,
photograph, voice, opinions, statements and/or hometown and state for promotional or advertising purposes
in any media, worldwide and in perpetuity, without further notice, payment or consideration.
10. Right to Modify or Cancel: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event any provision is found invalid or
unenforceable, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect in accordance with their terms as if the
invalid or unenforceable provision was never included. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official
Rules does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
Sponsor may cancel, suspend and/or modify the Promotion, or any part of it, if any mistake, clerical or
typographical error, omission, fraud, technical failure, tampering, computer virus or other factor, technical or
otherwise, beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control, impairs Sponsor’s ability to properly conduct the Promotion,
as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, subject to any applicable law or regulation. In such event,
Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, award any applicable prize(s) by random drawing from among the eligible
entries received up to the time of the cancellation, suspension or modification of the Promotion. Inclusion in
such random drawing is Entrant’s exclusive remedy under such circumstances.
9
11. Disputes: Except where prohibited by law, Entrant agrees that: (1) all disputes, claims and causes of action
arising out of or connected with this Promotion or any prize awarded will be resolved individually, without
resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate federal or state court located in Harris
County, Texas; and (2) all claims, judgments and awards will be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred,
including costs associated with entering this Promotion, but in no event attorneys’ fees. All issues and
questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the
rights or obligations of Entrant or Sponsor in connection with the Promotion, are governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
rules, no matter what jurisdiction, that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
as stated.
12. Privacy: By entering this Promotion, Entrant agrees to Sponsor’s manner of collection, use, retention and
disclosure of Entrant’s Personal Information submitted in connection with the Promotion. Personal
Information collected from Entrant is subject to Sponsor’s privacy policy, which can be found at
academy.com/privacy-policy. For full details and Official Rules, see academy.com/official-rules.
