No further points will be awarded for completing the same challenge at the same level on a second or subsequent occasion.  Entrants will only receive points for the highest level they have achieved at that challenge (i.e. bronze, silver or gold).  The points achieved will serve as an indicator to find the best candidates.
  2. The top 100 presidential candidates based on this score, with suitable presidential candidate criteria, and meet all required terms and conditions such as being resident in Great Britain, Channel Islands or Isle of Man, will go through to the second round of judging. In the scenario where more than 100 candidates have achieved gold in all 9 challenges (and therefore an equal score), or where scores are the same, the top 100 will be chosen according to the date/time by which they completed all 9 challenges with the earliest date being ranked first.
  3. These top 100 entries will go forward to the second round, where they will be judged by a panel of 5 representatives from the promoter plus 1 independent representative. The judges will be looking primarily at the entry to ascertain how suitable a presidency candidate the entrant is by considering how much to they love Dr Pepper, do they live the motto ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’, their creativeness, originality and vision for the Pepperhood. A total of 10 finalists will be selected from all valid entries. The finalists will be notified by email by 28th September and their picture and candidacy application will be published on www.drpepper.co.uk/thepepperhood
  4. The third and final stage of the process is a vote open to every registered member of the Pepperhood who has completed the silver level of challenge 10.  Voting by members of the Pepperhood will be open on www.drpepper.co.uk/thepepperhood from 28th September. The winners will be the candidate who receives the most votes collected and has adhered to the promotional terms and conditions. Voting closes at midnight on 11th October 2011.
  5. If it is apparent, following reasonable investigation, that a member of the Pepperhood or a presidential candidate  is involved in multiple voting activity, syndicates or any underhand methodology to gain an advantage the promoter reserves the right to disqualify the candidate or invalidate votes received from that member. Any member involved in such activity will lose any entitlement to a prize and will be banned from entering future Coke promotions.

20.The winner will be contacted, and verified by 14th October and be announced to the public on 15th October 2011. In the event that the winner cannot be contacted within 24 hours of first attempting to do so the promoter reserves the right to withdraw election entitlement and award the prize to a reserve selected at the same time as the original.
