The Auction Rules

1. Eligibility of Bidders:  the Auction is open only to calendar year 2005 dues paying members of the ND Club of Memphis who reside within the geographical boundaries of the ND Club of Memphis as defined by the University of Notre Dame Alumni Association.  For persons who are not currently dues paying members of club, new memberships to qualify for eligibility in the auction are available only to Notre Dame alumni, parents of current students, and for friends of the university, those who have previously been members of the Notre Dame Club of Memphis. In order to activate or renew your club membership, click here .

2. Items to be Auctioned:  there are 10 tickets available. Bidding will be for 5 pairs of tickets.  Each bidder may only bid on 1 pair of tickets.  There can only be 1 bidder per family.  Pairs of tickets may or may not be seated together. This is dependent on the allotment of tickets from the university.  If the club receives an additional allotment of tickets, then the highest non-winning bidders will have the opportunity to purchase those tickets at the lowest winning bid price for the original 5 pairs.

3. Bidding Amounts:  the minimum starting bid is $150 for a pair of tickets. Bids may be raised in even $5.00 increments of at least $5.00 per ticket-pair.  Bids not in even increments of $5.00 will be rejected. 

4. The Bid Itself:  bidders will submit their bids via email to the Ticket Auctioneer . The Auctioneer is not eligible to bid.

Rule of Uniqueness: in the case of  duplicate initials or pseudo-names, the Auctioneer will append a number to the initials or pseudo-name for unique identification and the bidder will be notified by email.  Ensuing bids must use the same unique or Auctioneer-amended initials or pseudo-name.  
5.  Tie-Breakers:  bids of equal value from different bidders will be given priority based on the time at which they arrive in the Ticket Auctioneer's email in-box.

6. The Winners:  the top 5 bidders as of 6:00 PM CDT on Thursday, September 15, 2005 will each receive 2 tickets. 

Equal bids will be placed in order on the priority list by time of arrival with the earliest being placed at the top of the list. 

The price of the tickets are based on each of the 5 individual winning bids, therefore, all ticket pairs may or may not be sold at the same price.  

For example, if the following are the top 8 bids received with initials:

1. $200        Knute
2. $195        Lou
3. $190        Dan
4. $185        Hunk
5. $175        Ara       (bid received at 4:23 PM)
6. $175        Frank        (bid received at 5:45 PM)
7. $160        W The Coach
8. $155        Elmer.

The top 5 win the auction.  Knute will get a pair for $200. Lou will pay $195 and so on. Since Ara placed the first $175 bid, he will win a pair of tickets for $175.  If 2 additional pairs of tickets become available, then Frank and W will each have the opportunity to purchase the tickets for $175 for the pair.

7. Checks:  to redeem the winning bids, checks should be made to the Notre Dame Club of Memphis and mailed to:

Pat Mason
4715 Spottswood,

Memphis, Tennessee 38117

If a check is not received by September 20, 2005, then those tickets will be sold to the next highest bidder. The cost of the tickets in this situation will be the original winning bid price.

8. The Leader Board:  The ND Club of Memphis website will maintain an Auction Leader Board which will be updated periodically during the contest with the initials or pseudo-names of the top 5 bidders and the amounts of the bids. 

The final updated Leader Board will be posted as soon as possible after the Auction deadline.

To view the current Auction Leader Board, click on the ND-UT "Rivalry Resumes" icon at the top of this announcement.

It is the bidder's responsibility to check the status of bids on the ND Club of Memphis website at www.ndmemphis.com . 

It is anticipated that the site will be updated twice a day, during the morning and evening, but updates are dependent on the schedule of the Ticket Auctioneer.

9.  Scalping:  winners agree the tickets may not be scalped or otherwise publically sold in a way not in accordance with the rules of the University of Notre Dame Athletic Department.

10. Benefit to the ND Club of Memphis:  the prices paid for the tickets above the $112 face value for the ticket-pair will be applied to the ND Club of Memphis' scholarship fund and other special projects as determined by the Board.
