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.

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.
