FAQ 6

 


WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT YOUR CONTESTS?
They’re easy, they’re fun -- but unfortunately, only residents of the United States (with the exception of Florida--sorry!) are eligible to enter. Don’t blame us -- just like that Iran-Contra mess, it’s part of some inexplicable Federal law. Oh, and by the way, if your computer crashes, you can always use snail-mail to enter any of our contests. Just send us a postcard with your name, address and answer (if applicable) to:

BACKTRAX USA
55 State Street
Hackensack, NJ 07601
