900 GLOBAL PRESENTS BOUNTY PROGRAM $25,000 UP FOR GRABS!
« on: October 08, 2008, 09:10:36 AM »
Hello All-
There has been speculation as to what we have up our sleeve.  Well we are finally ready to let the world know.
Our new High Performance line "Bounty" will start shipping the first week of November.  Features the new Double Cross core that Nick has been working feverishly on, wrapped with S77 that will produce a very aggressive downlane reaction even at 1000k Abralon.  Not only is this a great ball, but we are doing something nobody in the industry has done before.  Buy this ball, shoot a 300 and win money from us.  See details below.

$25,000 Reward

900 Global puts up the Bounty for top bowlers and pro shops around the country.  Thats right $25,000 cash, bucks, smackers, clams, greenbacks, dinero, coin, moolah, or whatever term it is you like.  The fact is its up for grabs starting November 1st.  Here's how it works.... Shoot a USBC sanctioned 300 game with the Bounty and receive a cut of the $25,000.  
PRO SHOPS THAT DRILL A BOUNTY FOR A BOWLER THAT SHOOTS 300 WILL ALSO RECEIVE A SHARE OF THE $25,000. What's the catch?  NONE!
Offer good through April 30th 2009, at which point the $25,000 will be divided up among the Pro Shops and Bounty 300 game bowlers.  Go to http://www.900global.com/thebounty/ for complete details.

I know the first question.  NO this is not the end of the Break series!  This is a new price point.  Breaks will continue.

Stand left, throw it right, and strap it like a trojan!!


LOL, sure, its why I went adult, and i'm not regretting it at all as with my college schedule the traveling for all the youth stuff wouldn't work so well but the local adult stuff is booming and its awesome to be a part of it.

its a good idea, a bit of a gimmick in my book.  Considering that there are about 250 3's thrown a month, the pro shops get their cut so ever 300 x's 2 = 500 and this last for 4 months......you'll get about $6.75 out of this thing.
--------------------
The only sure thing about luck is that it's bound to change....


Its not a gimmick. You could win $250 a share or $10 a share we don't know yet.  We will have a running tally on this that bowlers can monitor off of our website.  The thing to keep in mind is we really want it to be $6.75.  Shocker!  We have already committed to paying out the $25K regardless of how many people do it but if it gets split that low that means alot of peeps shot a 300 with this ball. IE we made a damn good bowling ball that people are having success with.  If you read the rules it clearly states that we reserve the right to ADD money to this program.  Whats it worth to someone?  This idea is something were excited about and its something bowlers and pro shops should be excited about.  It's DIFFERENT!  4-1's and %'s off only benefit the shop guy.  This program benefits bowlers and shops.

In the rules it says that the Pro Shop must wait until the bowler provides the USBC application letter before mailing off the redemption card.

Is it the letter that you receive in the mail from the USBC verifying the 300 game that you will need?

Or the application for a 300 game that you fill out the night of bowling the 300?

If it's the application that you fill out, is a copy of that ok or does it have to be the original?

If it's the letter you get in the mail, do you expect the letter to show up in the mail within the 2 weeks that you are expecting the cards to be mailed within?


Johnny-We will need just a copy of the application signed by the league secretary.  Its faster that way.  We will then post the bounty as pending until we verify it through USBC by phone call or bowl.com posting.  Or the bowler could even fax a copy of the congrats letter from USBC.

In response to those that think it's a gimmick, I ask simply one questions, How much money did you receive from the manufacture of the ball you shot your last 300 game with? If the answer was nothing than where I come from something is better than nothing.

Sorry missed yours.  To claim Bounty as a driller you need to have a valid tax ID number and business license.  So if your a shop operator drill and shoot a 300 you actually get 2 shares at the same time.

Yeah, horrible gimmick.  Better to just give away $100 gas cards, but limit it to $10 claims every 30 days!

Combine this offer with a my300club.com membership, shoot a 300 and you'll end up with some cash and a new ball!

It's probably just from all this election stuff going on, but I get a little leary when I hear money and "double cross" in the same conversation!

  so what you are saying is if you don't have a tax # and you dont have a shop license your pretty much "SOL"... so the guys that drill their own stuff out of their homes can "not be eligible"..??!! CORRECT??  slashrr69

Yes.  Every program will never fit everyone.  Buddy up with a shop on this one ball, could be worth it.
