Gillette’s Champions of Gaming Tournament, Madden NFL 09 Holiday Giveaway/Contest

National Football League Blogcast, NFL Blogcast

I’m working with Gillette and EA Sports to promote their XBOX Live Tournament — “Gillette’s Champions of Gaming!” It’s the world’s largest multi-sport gaming tournament. Anyone with an XBOX Live account can log on to the tournament and play Madden NFL 09, NBA Live 09, Tiger Woods PGA Tour® 09, NASCAR® 09 or EA Sports Soccer 09. Once you choose the game you want to play, you will be entered into some qualifying rounds. If you make it through those rounds and become a finalist in your region (North America, Asia and Europe), you will be flown to Orlando, FL to play in the Final Round for your specific EA Sports game. If you win it all, you get a chance (depending on schedule and availability, of course) to play one of five big-name athletes — Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Roger Federer, Denny Hamlin and/or Thierry Henry. Click here for the official rules. The final two (out of nine) qualifying periods begin December 15 and December 22, so get busy and act now!

To celebrate the tournament and the holidays, I’m giving away a copy of Madden NFL 09. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post before midnight on Friday, December 19 and I will randomly draw the winning name and send your copy of Madden NFL 09 just in time for Christmas. Good luck!
