  From the eligibility guidelines: "You are not a resident of Quebec, Italy, Saudi Arabia, or anywhere that the contest is prohibited by law." Does anyone know why you can't register if you live there?

      Interesting. Years ago I noticed a clause on the MLB all-star ballot that Canadian residents would have to pass a time-limited math-based test in order to qualify for some drawing related to the ballot. I wonder if this was related. In fact, a quick google search reveals an almost identical clause in the 2012 NHL ballot: If the potential winner is a Canadian resident he/she will be required to correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical, electronic or otherwise, in order to be eligible to receive the prize. http://vote.nhl.com/public/fulfillment/rules.pdf http://vote.nhl.com/public/fulfillment/rules.pdf
