January 21, 2009 - Minneapolis, MN - Buffalo Wild Wings(r), Inc., the sports grill and bar known for its award-winning Buffalo, NY-style chicken wings spun in one of 14 signature sauces, hosted the finale of its exclusive QB1 Tournament of Champions at the South Strip
restaurant location in Las Vegas yesterday evening.  A system wide football strategy competition that started in its restaurants across the country in September brought 20 lucky finalists to Las Vegas including Gregory Leung of Upland, California, to play for the chance
to win $8,000.

"Football season traditionally brings great crowds and excitement to our restaurants.  We are pleased to also have the opportunity for guests to compete in the Buffalo Wild Wings exclusive football strategy trivia game continually proving why "You Have To Be Here(tm)". On behalf of our entire staff, we would like to extend special congratulations to Gregory," said Diana Osberg, Director of Marketing and Brand Integration at Buffalo Wild Wings.

The QB1 Tournament of Champions was created by trivia company, Buzztime and the QB1 Tournament is hosted exclusively at Buffalo Wild Wings.  This football strategy game is played in conjunction with live games, where the player puts themselves in the quarterback's
cleats to predict the next play.  The top three scoring individuals from each restaurant were entered for a random drawing to win a trip to the finals in Las Vegas.  Buffalo Wild Wings also hosted seven regional competitions, where the winner of each won the trip to the
finals.

The grand prize winner was awarded $8,000 with the opportunity to use the money for tickets to next week's Big Game, if they so chose.  In addition, second and third prize winners collected $1,000 and $500 spending cash respectively.  The competition took place at the South Strip Buffalo Wild Wings located at 7430 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Suite 120 on Sunday, January 19th at 1pm PT.
