How to Enter and Play.
For official entry, you must join the game by registering at
http://blackpoint.k2.com. Registering will not add you to any spam list or obligate you to Sponsor in anyway. To play the GET TO THE POINTS Contest, take clues provided on the K2UNDERGROUND
TM Web site located at
http://www.k2underground.com/ and use them to find point redemption cards. Redemption cards and points can be anywhere, on any site or on any page, on collateral at an event, or buried within a Web cast. Each time a new redemption card is hidden/posted, Sponsor will announce the clue of its location. The amount of points given will be noted on each card. Participants should find the redmption cards as quick as they can as the cards will not remain posted at their locations for long. Each redemption card and its associated points will only be allowed to be redeemed once per person. Once you have found a point redemption card, enter the associated code on the point redemption page located at
http://blackpoint.k2.com/en/BlackPointGame.aspx.
There will many cards with many point values to find throughout the game. There will be between 35 and 60 redemption cards to find. The harder they are to find the more points they may be worth. Do not look for a point redemption card until we announce that it exists - no points will be awarded for redemption cards located by a participant prior to the posting of its associated clue.
You can also get points by referring your friends to the Contest -- just enter in their username in the point redemption screen and in turn both you and your friend get points. We reserve the right to add additional point opportunities as we see necessary.
