Concerns entering a golf tournament.
'Teilnahmeberechtigung
Mitarbeiter der XXX [the company staging the competition] und deren Tochtergesellschaften (nicht gewinnberechtigt)'
I also have
'Die Teilnahme am XXX ist nur einmal pro Jahr gewinnberechtigt möglich'.
I take this to mean that a person can take part in the competition but will not be considered for prizes/ going on to the next round. Is this correct and if so can anyone think of a good way to phrase it?

: but in the second case it seems that you can participate as often as you want, but you can only win a prize once.
