Here's a recap of how to participate in the 4 monthly contests. Get ready and good luck!

1. Players must be 21 or older and have an IT player account to participate. There is no additional fee or other cost to enter other than the normal cost of playing a game of Silver Strike Bowling.


2. Play at least 25 qualifying games on registered online Silver Strike Bowler's Club 2009 machines only. A qualifying game is one where the player scores at least ten points in ten frames. Play on as many different machines as you'd like – just make sure they're the registered online 2009 edition. Games played on any other version will not count.


3. Select Advanced at the start of each game, and use the same player account every time you play. Swipe the same player card, or card tied to the same account, every game. Games played on multiple cards (accounts) will not be combined for any reason.


4. Scores will be ranked by the average of your top 25 games. Leaderboards on the website will display total pinfall and most strikes. Play as many games as you'd like – after 25 games, a bad game can't lower your average!


5. The top 200 players ranked by scoring average will win prizes that will be deposited directly into their SSB player accounts. It's as easy as that! (Players wishing to redeem these prizes must cash them out through IT's website per IT's normal cashout procedure.)


6. Only one prize can be won by a player in a monthly contest, but everyone is encouraged to play in all four monthly tournaments.


7. Shooting scores for another player is not allowed for any reason and will result in both players being immediately disqualified from the tournament. All Silver Strike 2009 machines will be monitored and all game play data is subject to inspection.


8. Any player to complete 100 identified games or more in a single monthly contest qualifies for that month's commemorative Bowlapalooza Player Card. Players must log into their web account and fill out an electronic form that provides full name and mailing address. Allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.
