As the Official Chip of the NBA and WNBA, Ruffles is launching “Ridgeline Unlocks,” a weekend-long NBA All-Star opportunity headlined by a national search for the first-ever fans to take the court in a pregame shooting experience ahead of the Ruffles Celebrity Game. The winning fans will shoot the inaugural pregame shots from the Ruffles Ridgeline – a 4-point line on the hardwood resembling the iconic ridges in Ruffles potato chips – and tip off the opportunity for fans to unlock more flavor with a chance for prizes and unforgettable experiences.
Two winners will be hand-selected by Ruffles Athletes Jayson Tatum and A’ja Wilson, who are on the hunt for ballers with innovative on-court flavor and a sweet stroke from long range. In addition to selecting the winners with Tatum, Wilson may even share pregame coaching tips and inspiration ahead of the winners’ shot attempts.
Alongside the on-court pregame opportunity, each winner will also receive an NBA All-Star experience of a lifetime: a trip for two to Indianapolis, a pregame red-carpet appearance and a VIP tour of the locker rooms.
Those who think they have the skills to take the pregame shot can simply share a video of themselves on Instagram flexing their best long-range shot using hashtags #RufflesRidgelineChallenge and #Entry, or DM @ Ruffles on Instagram using both of the same hashtags for a chance to win. The contest is now open, and entries are valid until January 31, 2024, at 11:59:59 p.m. CT. For more information and official rules, see here.
Whether at home or in the stands in Indianapolis, fans won’t want to miss a second of the 2024 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game action as Ridgeline shots made during the game will prompt other opportunities to score. Fans can scan the on-screen code during special prompts throughout the game, see the latest on @Ruffles Instagram and follow the instructions in the social post to participate.
