Competition entry with limited return messaging
First Claim
1. A method of:
- enabling an entrant to enter a competition; and
limiting subsequent communication between a competition administrator and the entrant;
via a sensing device interacting with machine-readable coded data on a printed competition entry form, the method comprising the steps, performed in a computer system, of;
(a) receiving interaction data representing the interaction of the sensing device with the coded data, the interaction data enabling the competition entry to be electronically captured in the computer system;
(b) transmitting the competition entry to the competition administrator; and
(c) enabling transmission of up to a predetermined maximum number of electronic messages from the competition administrator to the entrant.

20. A system for:
- enabling an entrant to enter a competition; and
limiting subsequent communication between a competition administrator and the entrant;
via a sensing device interacting with machine-readable coded data on a printed competition entry form, the system comprising a computer system configured and programmed to;(a) receive interaction data representing the interaction of the sensing device with the coded data, the interaction data enabling the competition entry to be electronically captured in the computer system; (b) transmit the competition entry to the competition administrator; and (c) enable transmission of up to a predetermined number of electronic messages from the competition administrator to the entrant. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
