Terms and Conditions

1. The competition is open to all residents of the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man aged 16 or over, except BBC or BBC Group Company employees, their close relatives or anyone connected with the competition or the particular prize being offered.

2. A qualifying question will be asked on air with three possible answers; the letter corresponding to the answer you choose will need to follow the keyword set for the day’s prize e.g. TENNIS in the body of the text message entry. Entrants will also need to include their name and age for eligibility and verification purposes.

3. Registration to take part in the competition is only available by using the following method:
• By texting 81199 with the keyword (TENNIS following the example above) followed by A, B or C and then your name and age. Texts will be charged at your standard message rate. Check with your network provider for exact costs.

No other method of entry will be accepted. Only one entry is allowed per listener for each daily prize. If you enter more than once your subsequent entries will not count but you will be charged.

Entries missing some of the information above will not be considered valid entries for this competition.

4. Registration will be open at 0800 on the first day and then 0830 on subsequent days during January 2018 when the competition is being played. The competition registration period will close the following day at 0800. At that point a keyword will be given on air. Entrants should listen out for this word.

5. Potential winners will be drawn at random from all entries with the correct answer. A short list of up to 50 numbers will be generated. The shortlisted callers will be called back in the order they were selected, live on the air. They will need to answer their phone with the keyword announced at 0800 in order to win the prize. If the call is not answered on the first attempt, it’s clear the call is not going to be answered, or they fail to answer in the correct manner, are rude or abusive then they will fail to win the prize. The next entrant on the list will then be called.

6. This process will continue until an entrant answers their phone in the prescribed manner. If no winner is found before 0830, the Prize will no longer be available to win that day and will be rolled over into the Prize offered on the final day (31st January 2018). On that day the process will continue until a winner is found. If the Prize contains an element which will be of no value or expired by the final day (for example a ticket to an event before 31st January 2018) – then the final day process will be followed for that particular Prize.

7. The phone from which the text entry is sent in the registration process must be the entrant’s phone. The entrant must be entering on their own behalf. The BBC reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who did not register using their own phone, who answered a call to someone else’s phone or who has someone else answer their phone on their behalf. Further the BBC reserves the right to disqualify an entrant if it discovers the information provided in the text entry is incorrect. This may mean that a winner is disqualified for not providing the correct information for verification purposes, that prize will go back into the pot and will be rolled into the final prize on Wednesday the 31st January 2018.

8. The BBC's decision as to entrants and winners is final. No correspondence relating to the competition will be entered into.

9. Entrants agree to take part in any post-competition publicity if required.

10. The Prize is as described in the Prizes section under the relevant date. The Prize description may include additional requirements which alter the eligibility of that particular round of the competition, impose additional rules or restrictions specific to that Prize. You must read the particular Prize description carefully before entering. The particular Prize may require collection or additional actions to be taken for fulfilment. The BBC is not responsible for winners failing to follow instructions. There will be no additional elements, fees or expenses covered (including but not limited to travel or accommodation) unless expressly stated in the particular Prize description.

11. If the Prize includes tickets or entry to an event, the BBC will not be responsible for any failure of the Winner and/or guests (if applicable) to gain entry or re-entry to the event due to their behaviour or failing to meet the admission requirements. The BBC will not be responsible for suspension or cancellation of events that may form part of the Prize. If the Prize includes access to a sporting event, the winners and guests (if applicable) must not be subject to any order banning them from attending such sporting events.

12. Winners are excluded from subsequent rounds of the competition.

13. This competition is conducted in line with the BBC's code of conduct for competitions, which can be found here.

14. Your personal details will be handled by the BBC in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and in line with the BBC’s Privacy and Cookies Policy. The BBC will only ever use your personal details for the purposes of administering this competition. Your personal details will only be kept for as long as necessary. Please see the BBC’s Privacy Policy.

15. The BBC, their sub-contractors, subsidiaries and/or agencies cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for any technical failure or malfunction or any other problem with any server, network, system or otherwise which may result in any registration not being properly logged or not recorded.

16. The BBC reserves the right to (i) amend these terms and conditions in any way; (ii) disqualify any entrant or winner who breaches these rules or has acted fraudulently in any way; (iii) disqualify any entrant or winner, withdraw or substitute any prize should an entrant winner or guest at any stage exhibit inappropriate or dangerous behaviour (including, but not limited to, being under the influence of drugs, alcohol or causing a nuisance) before, whilst on air or afterwards in relation to this competition; (iv) impose additional entry requirements, restrictions or additional rules should the specific prize on offer requires it (including, but not limited to, additional age or other event entry requirements, or require a parent or guardian to be present if the winner or a guest is under 18 for some or all of the Prize); and (v) cancel or vary the competition at any stage, if deemed necessary in its opinion, or if circumstances arise beyond its control.

17. Entrants will be deemed to have accepted these rules and to agree to be bound by them when entering this competition.

18. The competition is run by the BBC. The applicable law is that of England and Wales.
