SAS Games, parent company of TiViTz, is proud to announce an exciting partnership with Ripken Baseball and its Chairman and CEO, Cal Ripken, Jr.!
Ripken, a strong proponent of education for youth, has long been a fan of the TiViTz board game and tournament structure as a way to motivate kids to excel at math. The baseball Hall of Famer is the official celebrity spokesperson for Ripken Baseball TiViTz, which is now available as a board game and online in both 2D Free Play and 3D Premium Play versions.
And now, on Nov. 9, Ripken will introduce the Ripken Baseball Grand Slam Math Challenge Presented by TiViTz. The nationwide contest will challenge students in each of the 50 states to sharpen their math skills by playing TiViTz online. The state with the most games played between Nov. 9, 2010 and May 15, 2011 will receive a FREE Planet Ripken membership with 3D Premium Play for an entire school year! The top player from every state will travel to Washington, D.C. to play in a live-action board game tournament, while the top five players in the nation will join Cal at the 2011 Major League Baseball All Star Game in Phoenix, Arizona!
