SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, ILL. --   Starting June 1 and continuing through the month of August, Air Mobility Command personnel and their family members are encouraged to see how they match up.

MatchUp is AMCs new summertime program wherein participants can win big prizes for participating in various activities at their base, said Larry Krauss, chief, AMC Services Operations Division. After six years of [Around The World In Ninety Days], we felt it was time to offer the AMC community something new and refreshing. MatchUp is all of that and more.

This years program will award more than 9,600 prizes in 90 days. MatchUp also offers more interactive play and more guaranteed prizes for each AMC installation. Each week participants can compete for a guaranteed $100 cash prize at their base -- that's 12 $100 cash winners at each AMC installation.

Each base also has guaranteed grand prizes, including round-trip airfare for two to any US Airways destination, plus $1,000 cash, a TiVo digital recording system with lifetime service, and $500 cash. In addition, participants are eligible for the command drawings, which include four round-trip airline tickets to any US Airways destination and $5,000 cash; airline tickets and $3,000 cash; and two drawings for Universal Studios vacation packages, which include airfare, hotel accommodation and VIP passes.

Winners of the Universal Studios prizes may elect to visit either the Florida or California location.

Based on the old TV game, Concentration, MatchUP is a Web-based program in which participants attempt to match up various symbols in the fewest number of turns and in the fastest time.

Were taking our summer promotions to the next level, said Scott Black, AMC Marketing manager. "MatchUp offers a variety of prize winning opportunities, as well as just being fun to play."

Like ATWIND, MatchUp is designed to help increase awareness and participation in Air Force programs, services and activities. Players receive game pieces for participating in MatchUp designated events. Each game piece is worth an entry into the grand prize drawings and is also the participant's ticket to try their luck playing MatchUp. Players register their game pieces on-line at www.amcmatchup.com or can use the toll-free MatchUp hotline at 1-888-597-9960.

MatchUp will also feature a $100,000 Base Race cash incentive program. By participating in MatchUp, players can help their base win thousands of dollars toward improving the quality of life at their installation.

Thanks to program sponsors, Sprint, US Airways, USAA, Coca-Cola, First Command, Tyson and Aspen, AMCs MatchUp program will award more cash and prizes than any program in the history of AMC.

Each AMC installation will offer a variety of programs, activities and services wherein participants can earn MatchUp game pieces.
