Pac-Man World Championship To Take Place On Xbox Live
Microsoft and Namco Bandai have teamed up to offer Xbox Live gamers worldwide a chance to participate in the Pac-Man World Championship, as well as a Pac-Man FANatic contest.
A new Pac-Man World Championship contest will take place on Xbox Live, with competitors vying for an opportunity to travel to New York and do battle for the Pac-Man crown.
The Pac-Man leaderboard scores on Xbox Live will be reset in order to provide a fair starting point for the contest, which will run from April 25 to May 9.
At the close of the contest, Microsoft [http://www.microsoft.com] will determine the top nine players from across the globe based on Xbox Live rankings. A 10th "wild-card" player will be selected from the entrants of a Pac-Man FANatic contest, in which anyone can submit a video that "best illustrates their love for Pac-Man."
All ten contestants will be flown to New York City to compete in a final, winner-take-all Pac-Man throw-down to determine the champion. The victor will be crowned World Champion by Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani and will receive other prizes including 26 years of free meals from Quiznos [http://www.quiznos.com], 100,000 Microsoft Points, and a custom-designed Xbox 360 featuring a unique Pac-Man motif.
Details on how to enter both the Pac-Man World Championship Tournament and the Pac-Man FANatic contest are available on Microsoft's Xbox Live Tournament site [http://www.xboxlivetournament.com/].
