PlayStation and EA Sports Kick Off the 2009 NCAA Football Challenge

Sony Computer Entertainment America ("SCEA"), together with EA SPORTS, is pleased to announce the 2009 NCAA Football Challenge presented by Best Buy. The NCAA Football Challenge is kicking off its sixth season on October 9 at UCLA, Los Angeles, beginning a 19-city, three-month tour of college towns across the nation. The competition will culminate in the finals tournament held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where the lucky finalists will face off for the chance to win a custom PlayStation 3 system and a grand prize of $10,000.

The NCAA Football Challenge is a high-intensity competition that reflects the gridiron battles that occur every Saturday, providing an official tournament for the gamers of all types, from hard-core to casual, to compete for prizes and claim bragging rights for their favorite schools. Participants at each stop will also have the opportunity to check out the PlayStation patrol truck as it paves the road to the 2010 Rose Bowl fully loaded with EA SPORTS NCAA Football 10 on state-of-the-art PlayStation 3 systems.

The NCAA Football Challenge will touch down at college towns around the nation with the winners from each of the campus tournaments taking home their very own PSP system and earning the chance to advance to EA SPORTS' own version of the BCS National Championship Game – the NCAA Football Challenge finals on January 1, 2010.
