$10K Multi-Contestant Pass Punt & Kick Promotion

pass punt & kick promotion - panthers fan festColleges & Universities: Looking to increase excitement at your next big game?  This University in the Northeast did just that at their football fanfest event for students and season ticket holders by insuring a fabulous multi-contestant Pass Punt & Kick football promotion!

Here’s how it worked: On the specified promotion date, three fans were drawn at random via registration forms to come down and participate in the progressive Pass Punt & Kick promotion.  All 3 contestants threw (passed) the football, starting from behind the back line of the end zone.   Then, starting from behind the exact spot where the previous pass hit the ground or crossed a sideline out of bounds, the top two contestants punted the football towards the same end zone.  Finally, the top contestant kicked a field goal through the goal posts at the opposite end of the field from where the sequence began.

If the contestant successully made the field goal, they would have been be awarded $10,000… and Odds On Promotions would have cut the check!  While there was no winner, a fabulous time was still had by all.  Check out the recap on their website!
