Microsoft Gives "Low" Down on Contest

Company: Microsoft
Product: MSN Direct

Tom Arnold of Fox Sports Net?s ?Best Damn Sports Show Period,? and Smart Watches for MSN Direct, have launched a contest that asks America?s sports fans, ?How Low Did You Go to Catch the Big Game?? The contest aims to find the craziest things fans have done to get the score of a big game, when they were supposed to be doing something else... such as having dinner with the in-laws, sitting through a business meeting, or attending the wedding of a distant cousin. The person with the best story will win a VIP trip to Hawaii to party with the pros during the weekend of Feb. 12, 2005.

Microsoft and its Smart Watch partners say they?re launching the ?How Low Did You Go to Catch the Big Game?? contest because the days of sneaking around to get a sports score will soon be over. Officials say technology is catching up with them. Smart Watches will deliver updated scores straight to people?s wrists.


Fans can enter the contest from Sept. 14 to Oct. 8 by logging on to HowLowDidYouGo.com.

Stories entered in the contest must be 250 words or fewer, and can include a picture that shows the entrant enjoying their favorite sport. They will be judged on humor, originality and dedication to sports. The 10 entries that best answer the question ?How Low Did You Go to Catch the Big Game?? will be posted at HowLowDidYouGo.com on Oct. 25. Fans will then be able to vote for their favorite stories until Nov. 26. The three people whose entries receive the most votes will be flown to New York to tell their stories to a panel of celebrity judges on Dec. 7. The judges will send the fan with the best story on a trip to Hawaii, where the winner and a guest will party with the pros.


In addition to sports news and statistics, Smart Watches for MSN Direct allow subscribers to receive other personalized content such as news, weather, calendar appointment reminders and personal messages. Since the launch of the service, Microsoft has nearly doubled the number of available channels by offering expanded sports content, daily diversions, horoscopes and lottery information.
