19. The following are specifically related to Internet contests and the Blitz Nation E-Mail

d. Contestants who register to participate on our website may be required to
produce a printed copy of proof of registration before being allowed to participate
in the contest.
e. Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet,
contests may not be heard at all. Contests heard on the radio station’s internet
audio stream may be slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the
broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all
contests heard are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more.
This means that when 99.7 The Blitz, WRKZ contests are played that require a
specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you
hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a
disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.
