In addition to monthly prizes, the five contractors at the end of the contest with
the most NATE Bowl points in each of the three “divisions” will be entered into a grand
prize drawing for a Super Bowl package to be announced in early November. Teams
can get points for every NATE-certified technician they have on staff. Additional points
can be earned each time a technician gets certified (or re-certified) or earns additional
NATE credentials. All points accrue during the NATE Bowl season, which lasts from
February through October 2008. Any HVACR contractor in the United States or Canada

interested in learning more about NATE Bowl, or registering, can go to www.natex.org.

Special thanks go to JB Industries, which provided February’s Tools of the Trade
prizes through the efforts of Johnstone Supply.

NATE, headquartered in Arlington, VA., was founded in 1997 and is the only
technician certification organization governed, owned, operated, developed and
supported by the HVACR industry.
