The PUMP IT UP CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
presents

**** Pump at The Park ****


****************************************

Starting its second year on beat, the Pump It Up Championship Series (PCS) presents “Pump at The Park” at The Park at MOA, the largest indoor amusement park in America. Located inside Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, The Park at MOA will welcome Pump It Up players from across the country on March 25, 2006, all traveling with hopes to take home some of the $1,200 in cash and prizes. In an effort to raise the level of competition in the USA to the international standard, The PCS will now incorporate only Speed and Freestyle divisions into the regional and national tournaments. Winners of Pump at The Park will be pre-qualified for the next two main events of the PCS scheduled for 2006, both of which will determine players to represent the United States in the World Pump Festival this November.
