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.

Punctuation is your friend.
That said, I would not even consider asking that question. Are there any honest folks left in this world, or is everyone just looking for ways to screw the system?

The Box code only allows 1 Per ball, as Jon mentions, if the only goal is to screw the system than maybe we need to reconsider our promos going forward. A reward to our loyal supporters was the goal of the program. If the dissidents screw with it than the program or similar programs won't happen again. We will rely on our supports to help police it.
If Golf is a game of honor what has bowling become? It only take a few....

I think that this is a decent promotion and it will be well received. All this talk about ways to make a fast buck, well I don't buy it. First, you do have to buy the bounty and have a box code and a sales receipt. Then there is that other thing called a 300 game. Now if someone shoots a 300 game using another brand and then tries to say they used the Bounty. Well they must ask themselves is it worth it, if they get caught. Loose lips sink ships. Someone who knows that they used brand X yet claimed that they used the Bounty, could turn them into the USBC. And then their 300 game might be disqualified because they would have filled out the form with the wrong information. And why would anyone risk something like that to maybe win $100.00? That makes no sense.

Newguy / Eric, I think you have an excellent idea here, and hope you go forward with it. It sounds like other ball companies might be worried!!!!!
And maybe they should.

A USBC Sanctioned 300 also needs to have the paper work filled out. I would have the league presidents verify the 300 by filling out the paperwork even though your not eligible for an award. Have the paper work filled out and the serial number of the ball must be on the paper. Another way to have it verified.

Eric/newguy,

You fellows are to be commended for this effort. Anytime you go out of your way for a promotion of a product by tying it to honesty for a reward though, you have just opened pandoras box I'm afraid.

Although your intentions are good, there are just far too many dis-honest people floating around today which the words "HONOR" and "INTEGRITY" have little, if any meaning.

I feel that most of the guys on here wouldn't/won't be the problem, but, we are only a very small portion of the bowling worlds pie. Too many times have I seen bowlers bowl an honor score with a "questionable" ball, only to fill out the forms for their awards, claiming to have used an entirey different ball than the one they actually used. How are you to prove any different?

I feel that virtually anyone who has a BOUNTY in the bag will try to collect the prize for the 300, regardless of whether they used the BOUNTY to actually shoot it with or not.

Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I am far to skeptical of human nature. But, just maybe, I have observed far too many liars doing exactly what I have said and it has undermined my faith in people and their honesty.

Good luck with your promotion. May you have nothing but success.

Juggar, I see your point, but I don't think it will happen. Sure if people think they may get a shot at $5k, but that is not going to happen. More then likely someone shooting a 300 with the Bounty might get a $50.00 - $100.00. Keep in mind that the pro shops that drill the balls also get a share.

Now ask yourself, is it worth getting caught cheating for $50.00 or $100.00.
First you could lose your 300 game, and who knows the USBC may ban you from tournaments. Is this worth it for $50-$100? I don't think so.

And now with so many people knowing about this deal, more will be on the watch to see if the 300's are really being shot with the ball people claim.

Newguy / Eric, I think everything will be just fine.

Sell a ton

I think this will be a self policing program, anyone who purchases a Bounty will surely be on the watch out for anyone on their league trying to "take advantage of the rules" because it will be money that will be coming out of their possible share of the "Bounty". Hope this makes sense.
