Greetings advertising
directors, publishers,
circulation directors,
etc.
Your newspaper is invited
to join dozens of others
around the country in
carrying the popular and
profitable SURVIVOR
Football Contest, now
in its sixth year.
Grand Prize: $10,000
Whether you’re in a
college town or not,
here’s the perfect way to
capitalize on the
pageantry of the holiday
bowl season – culminating
in the crowning of college
football’s national
champion in the BCS
Championship Game.
The SURVIVOR Football
concept is simple – and
modeled after office pools
you might have seen. The
contestant selects one –
and only one – team to win
on each DAY of the bowl
season. But the correct
picks must be
CONSECUTIVE. For as long
as you are correct, you
survive. First miss and
you’re out. Last one
standing wins $10,000.
Last one standing locally
is your local survivor and
wins whatever local prize
you wish to award: cash,
merchandise from a
co-sponsor, free
subscription, etc. (Of
course, we have a
Tiebreaker system to break
the rare tie.)
Using your co-sponsoring
merchants as the drop-off
points for entries will
push a gaggle of Christmas
shoppers into their
stores. (You might also
want to run a “private
game” among your
advertisers with the one
who lasts the longest
winning some free space.)
Bowl lineup will be
finalized on Sunday, Dec.
3rd. First bowl game
is Dec. 19. Therefore you
have a 12-day window to
run the contest, supported
by advertising, of
course. You may run the
entry (available by Dec. 6th at our
web site) as often as you
wish during this window.
All entries due by noon on
Dec. 19th. You bundle them
up and send them to me.
You’re done! We do all
scoring, tabulating and
reporting – giving you
full results a day or two
after the Rose Bowl.
SURVIVOR Football
is fun, easy, profitable
and lots of fun for you,
your advertisers and your
readers. For a look at the
game piece, a socko
Testimonial letter, etc.,
