Microsoft’s Xbox has been an annual presence at San Diego Comic-Con, so it should be no surprise to know they will be returning again for SDCC 2014.
After stints the last two years in the Hard Rock and the Manchester Grand Hyatt, Microsoft this year will be hosting the semifinals of the Kinect Sports Rivals Championship at Comic-Con, giving four skilled players a free trip to San Diego including airfare, hotel and spending cash.
The semifinal event, to be held on Saturday, July 26, will pit the four semifinalists in a live, “elimination style Championship Tournament”. Players must qualify by placing in the top four for the Wake Race and Climbing World Championship courses and the Bowling minigame leaderboards. The winner of the event will take home $10,000.
