"On April 15, 2009 -- better known in the United States as 'tax day' -- players will compete in the MONOPOLY National Championship at Washington, D.C.'s historic Union Station. The top player will earn the prestigious title of MONOPOLY U.S. National Champion, $20,580 (the equivalent of the 'bank' in the MONOPOLY game), and the honor of representing the country at the MONOPOLY World Championships in Las Vegas in October 2009."
