You don't even have to pitch a perfect game to win!

Do you own Madden '13. You should, if you read what Scott had to say about it. and you like football at all (I'm a Viking's fan, so I don't really like football this year). Are you thinking about getting NHL '13 or FIFA '13?
If you answered yes to any of those, then you should probably be entering yourself into the EA Sports Challenge Series (powered by Virgin Gaming) ASAP. Which, in this case is either September 11th (Madden '13, September 25th (NHL '13), or October 9th (FIFA '13) depending on what game you want to enter in.
“Last year’s inaugural EA SPORTS Challenge Series was a tremendous success, delivering an unrivaled competitive gaming experience online and at the live event finals in New York City,” said Rob Segal, CEO of Virgin Gaming. “With millions of fans eagerly anticipating the launch of the new EA SPORTS games, we’re going even bigger this time around, showing both our players and partners how exciting the future of competitive gaming is with Virgin Gaming.”
The tournament starts with online qualifiers where armchair quarterbacks, wingers and midfielders will battle it out for one of 640 spots in the REAL LIFE live tournament in Las Vegas. Once there, in addition to being plied with more food than you can shake a stick at (I assume, since it IS Vegas), gamers will compete for over a million dollars in prizes. Which they will promptly lose at the craps table.
Entry is free for anyone who buys a participating game, so there is no reason not to give it a shot. Right?
