Competition Rules

Anyone can play but only registered CEO Online web site and newsletter subscribers can be the Business Champion and cash prize winner.

Wouldn't you be upset if you achieved the highest salary, and then realised you were not a CEO Online web site or newsletter subscriber ... and therefore not eligible to be the Business Champion and receive the cash prize?

To be eligible to enter this competition, and gain the title of Business Champion AND win the cash prize on offer, the player must be identifiable as a CEO Online web site or newsletter subscriber (as described below):

having registered as a CEO Online subscriber before posting to the leader board; and
be registered at the conclusion of the competition period (monthly); and
must ensure the email address entered when posting their result(s) to the leader board exactly matches their CEO Online subscriber email address.

A CEO Online web site or newsletter shall be deemed to be:

an individual CEO Online subscriber (standard or Premium); or
a Member or Fellow of the International Institute of Directors and Managers (IIDM); or
an active member of The CEO Institute, or an employee of this member's organisation; or
an individual CEO Online subscriber registered in accordance with arrangements agreed with wholesale subscribers (which includes Business or Academic subscriptions); or
an individual CEO Online subscriber registered through an accredited CEO Online subscription partner; or
an individual CEO Online newsletter subscriber registered to receive CEO News.

CEO Online employees, consultants, associates and their family members are not eligible to enter this competition.

If there is not an outright winner of the Business Champion competition (that is, 2 or more players receive the equal highest salary or players do not meet the competition rules above), the monthly cash prize of A$1,000.00 will JACKPOT each month until such time as there is an outright Business Champion winner.

The winner will be determined by a CEO Online management panel, and notified by email within ten working days from the competition closure. The name and country of the winner will be published on www.ceoonline.com and in the CEO Online e-newsletter.

A player is only eligible to win the cash prize once per calendar year (ie. 2007, 2008, 2009 etc).

The competition is administered from the CEO Online office located at 80 Waverley Road, East Malvern, Victoria 3145, Australia, and finishes at 12 midnight (EST/DST), Melbourne, Australia, on the last day of each calendar month.

CEO Online reserves the right to exclude any player from participating in the competition, who obtains an unfair advantage contrary to the spirit of the game, or for any other reason which, in the opinion of CEO Online, represents an unacceptable practice.

By playing Who wants to be a CEO?, a player agrees, without reservation, to accept the rules of the competition as determined by CEO Online. CEO Online reserves the right to change the rules of competition, and the game from time to time. Each player acknowledges CEO Online's sole and absolute right in the awarding of the cash prize, and that no correspondence will be entered into regarding any decisions made by CEO Online. In the event of dispute, the General Manager of CEO Online will be the arbiter, whose decision will be final and binding on all players.

CEO Online may cancel the competition, at any time and for any reason, at its sole discretion.
