Okay, pretend-shredders, get ready to pretend-rock!

Starting on Thursday, March 20, The Dallas Mavericks will launch the Guitar Hero Challenge contest presented by GameStop and Activision, where video game fans will have the chance to show off their skills and sign up to play under tournament conditions on the AT&T Plaza outside the South Entrance of American Airlines Center.

Starting two hours prior to each home game between March 20 and April 10, fans can sign up to participate in the preliminaries, with the top five point-getters from each night nabbing the opportunity to play on the main stage. The top five finalists will receive two tickets to that night’s game. 

The top score from each of the six main stage competitions will advance to the Championship round on April 16. All six finalists will receive two tickets to the April 16 game against New Orleans and will receive a $100 GameStop giftcard.

The six finalists will compete for the chance to win the Dallas Mavericks Guitar Hero Challenge grand prize: the chance to play Guitar Hero during a quarter break at a First Round Playoff game, two-tickets to the game, a Guitar Hero Game pack and an autographed Mavs Authentic jersey.
