COMPETITION MECHANIC AND HOW TO WIN

All valid entries from both phone and online will be pooled together, and a player will be chosen by electronic random draw every day. If an entrant cannot be sourced or cannot play, we reserve the right to redraw until an entrant can be located. Any entrants that cannot be contacted or cannot play that day will be placed back into the pool for future rounds. The Competitor will be asked a series of up to ten (10) questions in sixty (60) seconds (“Time Limit”) on air. Only the first answer given to each question will be accepted. Competitors can pass on questions by stating “Pass”, and if there is time after the ten (10) questions are asked, the presenter will return to those passed questions. Then, and only then, will an answer be accepted for those questions. An independent adjudicator will be present at the station to resolve any disputes. The adjudicator’s decision shall be final and no further discussion will be entered into. If the Competitor answers all ten (10) questions correctly within the Time Limit, they will win £1000!
