The Dating Game with John O’Brien starts Tuesday, October 28th through Friday, November 7th. Listeners can fill out an entry form and answer a series of questions at Rock102.com before Noon on November 5th. On that afternoon, Rock 102 Staff will choose 3 Finalists and 2 alternates from entries received who seem most compatible with John O’Brien, award them each a $20 gift card to The Still Bar & Grill in Agawam and invite them to participate in a Dating Game at The Still on Friday, November 7th between the hours of 8 & 10 PM.

In the event the winner is subject to or the subject of any order or legal process issued by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the affairs of the winner (i.e. garnishment, child support order, judgment, lien, and the like), WAQY delivery of the prize to the official representative of the governmental entity claiming a right to the prize shall be thus deemed as WAQY awarding the prize to the winner.

WAQY shall not be liable for any claim by any winner for damages incidental thereto.
8. All WAQY contests are open to all eligible Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire residents 18 or over (unless otherwise specified).

17. The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on Rock102.com:

c. Any problems with the internet or email are not WAQY’s responsibility.
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 WAQY 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.
18. A copy of these rules are available during business hours at the WAQY studios 45 Fisher Ave. East Longmeadow, MA 01028.
