Registration

2. The competition will run on The Afternoon Show on ±«Óãtv Radio Scotland. The registration window is open at specified times on the 9th, 10th and 11th September 2024 as announced on- air (collectively the ‘Registration Window’).

Entrants will also be asked to confirm they are over the age of 18.

5. Lines will be open as stated on-air and close as stated by the presenter.

6. Only one entry is allowed per listener throughout the Registration Window. If you have tried to register on a previous day during the Registration Window, only your first entry will be counted.

On-Air Head to Head Quiz

7. When the phone lines close on the final day of registration (11th September), two entrants will be selected from the pool of correct entries using an independent randomised draw system and contacted by telephone off-air between 9am and 1pm on Thursday 12th September 2024.

If the entrant does not pick up the phone after reasonable attempts or the shortlisted entrant is rude or abusive, the ±«Óãtv reserves the right to disqualify the entrant and contact the next eligible randomly selected entrant.

Once eligibility has been confirmed by the ±«Óãtv, the two randomly selected entrants will be called by the production team to go live on-air in a head to head quiz between 2pm – 3pm on Thursday 12th September 2024. Each of the chosen entrants will alternately be asked 3different questions and the person with the most right answers will win. In the event of a tie, a tie-break question will be asked and the finalist with the closest answer will win.
