If a subscriber shall mark for an ordinary entry more than the specified number of squares in any panel, either the Office or the authorised agent may, upon acknowledgement by the computer system, request the subscriber to nominate the particular number or numbers to be removed from the subscriber's selection. Alternatively, the subscriber may be requested to complete another coupon. If the computer system fails to acknowledge that more than the specified number of squares in
any panel have been marked, then those marked squares, up to the specified number thereof, numbered with the lowest numerical values, shall be taken to constitute the entry submitted by the subscriber.
5.4 System Entries.-
To create a system entry, a subscriber shall forecast or select a quantity of numbers from a range of numbers in accordance with Schedule 1, #10, but the series of numbers so selected shall be in accordance with Schedule 1, #11.

each system type is identified in Schedule 4.

A subscriber may choose to mark more than one panel in either or both "With the Field" options and those panels marked with a quantity of numbers corresponding to either or both
"With the Field" options shall be validated for this type of entry and the subscriber shall be deemed to have entered into this type of system upon the issue of a subscription receipt by the Office or the authorised agent.

The marking of the multiple square shall cause the validation machine to request the Office or the authorised agent to ask the subscriber to nominate the number of entries required, which number shall not exceed the number specified in Schedule 1, C#15.
