Specific Rules:

 

• The landmark and the MFFL must be visible in the photo
• On Twitter, you must use #TheMavsFanatic and @TheMavsFanatic
• On Instagram, you must use #TheMavsFanatic and tag @Mavs_Fanatic
• Selfies of participants streaking on the court during a Mavs game are hilarious but are not worth any points[note]That’s just dumb[/note]
• Any Mavericks, coaches, or outspoken owners[note]AKA Mark Cuban[/note] must be aware they are being photographed with you[note]The argument “They know they are always being photographed” does not hold up in the Mavs Fanatic Court of Law[/note]

• Photos of in-game signs must be taken at the AAC or an Away arena, with #TheMavsFanatic on them
• Photos of participants watching Mavs games on TV are welcomed but are not worth any points[note]Just…please be wearing pants…[/note]
• If a photo qualifies for multiple point categories the highest point total stands (Ex. A photo with a Maverick in AAC counts for 500 points, not 550, this includes collages[note]Pictures can be worth 1000 words but not all are worth 1000 points[/note])
• Videos must follow same guidelines as photos
• Mavs Fanatic writers have final say in awarding points
• Point Values are subject to change throughout the season[note]But haven’t yet![/note]
