We will also check finalists are registered users of O2 Priority, so you must have registered with Priority prior to the final round. You need to have a valid Twitter account to enter. Finalists will be notified by direct message to their twitter user account and must therefore follow the @O2Sports until finalists are announced on 30^th June.

This competition is made up of a qualifying round (which will produce no more than five finalists) and a final round (which will produce a single winner, named ‘The Ultimate Fan for Rugby’).

Qualifying round

To enter this competition O2 customers must enter the qualifying round, by taking part in at least one of the five England Rugby online quizzes broadcast on Twitter via the @O2Sports Twitter handle. No other method of entry is available.

The participant with the best quiz score (based on a combination of the most correct answers given in the fastest time) will qualify as a finalist and have the opportunity to enter the final round of the competition. Only the first response from each participant will be accepted for the purposes of calculating quiz scores. In the unlikely event of any tie, the winner of the quiz round will be chosen at random from the tied entries.

Valid responses must be accurate, contain the ‘#O2ultimatefan’ hashtag and be from participants who meet the entry criteria. All other responses will be disqualified.

Only one entry per person per quiz.

Participants may enter one or more of the quizzes but can only qualify as a finalist once. If a participant qualifies as a finalist in more than one quiz, they will only be named as the finalist for the first quiz they entered and the participant with the next best quiz score will be identified as the finalist for any subsequent quizzes.

There will be five quizzes in total , resulting in five unique finalists and 20 reserve finalists (based on the next 4 best entries in each quiz round). Each quiz will launch at 7pm and close an hour later. Quizzes will take place on Twitter, via the @O2Sports handle during the qualifying round quiz dates only.

All five finalists will be notified by direct message to the twitter user account used to respond to the quiz questions, and they will be required to respond with their phone and email address. We will then contact them to make arrangements for the final via phone or email. Proof of identification may be required prior to the final. Finalists will be announced on 30 June 2014.

The final round

Five finalists will have the opportunity to enter the final round and become the Ultimate Fan for rugby.

To enter the final round finalists will be required to attend a Grand Final in the UK (exact location to be confirmed) in person, on Wednesday 13 August 2014 (‘Competition Day’), where they will be required to compete against each other by performing five physical and/or mental challenges. Details of the challenges will be made available to finalists on the Competition Day. Finalists and the events that take place on Competition Day will be filmed. By entering this competition, Finalists are deemed to have given the required consent to such filming and the use of footage in any media for any purposes, including publicity, arising from the competition now and in the future. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes sharing footage on the O2 Sports YouTube channel.

We’ll cover travel expenses for petrol and standard class rail fares, to a maximum of £200. For participants who live more than 150 miles to the Grand Final we will also cover 1 night’s accommodation at standard room rate at a local hotel. Valid receipts must be produced.

If any of the five finalists are unable or unwilling to participate in the final round a replacement will be contacted from the reserve finalists identified for the respective quiz in which the original finalist qualified.
