POWERPOINTSGAMES.COM
Welcome
to powerpointsgames.com, the
official web site of POWER
POINTS, Inc., a Denver-based
corporation that runs
contest promotions for
newspapers.
This
web site is designed
primarily as a tool for
marketing our three contests
to newspapers and as a
vehicle for reporting
contest results to our
client newspapers, but
we’re only too happy for
contestants to look in on us
from time to time to see
what’s up.
POWER
POINTS runs three contests
– all designed to grow
advertising and
single-copy-sales revenues
for newspapers.
Our core game is the POWER
POINTS Football Contest
which runs for 17 weeks in
the fall and features a
weekly regional grand prize
of $1,000.
The big draw of this
contest – besides that
cash bonanza -- is in its
unique and fun scoring
system.
It’s NOT LIKE those
boring old contests.
We run four regional
versions of the game:
Atlantic Coast,
Ohio
Valley,
Midwest, and Southwest.
Not only is there a
regional grand prize each
week, there’s also a local
winner from each newspaper.
That winner wins
whatever the newspaper wants
to arrange for.
If you are a
newspaper in one of these
regions, you’re eligible
to carry the contest.
Next
comes SURVIVOR
Football, our holiday
bowl games special.
Grand prize:
$10,000.
Any paper in the
country can participate.
It runs from about
Dec. 8 to about Dec. 18.
Newspapers can
publish it once, twice,
however many times they want
during that window.
Object of this game
is to correctly – and
CONSECUTIVELY – select
winning teams on each DAY of
the bowl season (usually
12-14 days).
You just pick one –
and only one – team to win
on each DAY.
For as long as
you’re correct, you
survive.
First miss and
you’re finished.
Last one standing
wins $10,000.
Last one standing
locally wins whatever local
prize the paper wants to
arrange for.
Finally,
the Big One:
BRACKETBUCKS
in conjunction with the NCAA
Basketball Tournament.
A three-day promotion
with a grand prize of
$25,000.
And, of course, a
local winner as well.
Any newspaper in the
country can participate.
In
all three games, newspapers
send us the entry forms for scoring, and we
report results at our web
page.
More
than 300 newspapers now use
one, two or all three of our
contests.
Each newspaper pays a
fee based on its daily
circulation in order to
participate.

of our games by clicking on

And good luck!
All
the best,
