- Makestar benefit items are given even if you choose not to enter.
- Entries use the event entry info typed at checkout (name, date of birth, phone number, messenger ID).
- After the entry period ends, entrant and messenger details cannot be changed. If a wrong entry makes it hard to confirm your identity on the event day, you will be told you cannot take part.
