Bowlers on teams of four raced to finish as many game possible, adding the scores from three of their top-scoring games together to win the competition and a trophy. In first place was the team of Anthony Bach, Tim Bach, Nguyen Nguyen and Chin Nguyen. In second place was the team of Son Ly, John "Fatdog" Nguyen, Tony Nguyen and Kong Sixivay. In third place was the team of Minh, Phong, Tam and Tony.

Free movie passes, free bowling passes, tickets to the Denver Art Museum, AsiaXpress water bottle holders and candy were given out during the "Rice Bowl" for things like the first person to bowl a "turkey", or three strikes in a row, and the first person to reach a score of 200 in game. Cong Hoang also won the raffle for a gift certificate for dinner for two at Benihana's. "I'm going to take all my homies," Hoang said after he received his prize.

CA/PSA held "Rice Bowl" to raise money and awareness for their anti-violence conference being held in the spring for Asian students, parents, and other concerned community members. The conference aims to educate Colorado's Asian community about the growing violence within and motivate and empower youth to challenge this problem. CA/PSA was formed by local university students after the tragic death of 17-year-old Joe Her who was caught in the crossfire of rival Asian gangs at a Halloween party in 1998.

CA/PSA will be holding a fundraising basketball tournament in the spring. CA/PSA hopes that through its fundraising events, Denver-area Asian youth can have opportunities to gather with one another in a safe, friendly environment.

Sponsorship and funding for the tournament was provided by asiaXpress.com, Subway Sandwitch (Federal & Evans and Sheridan & Alameda), Sun Glass City in Cub Foods center on S. Wadsworth. Proceeds from the event will go towards the CA/PSA Asian Youth Conference to be held in the spring of 2000.
