Sport Relief Radio Assault terms and conditions

Sport Relief Radio Assault Terms and Conditions

It’s Sport Relief and this year we’re all being asked to ‘go the extra mile’ - 7 presenters across national radio certainly did by completing an Army assault course against the clock. Now it’s your turn. Call in to support your favourite presenter!

The amounts raised by each presenter will be calculated and minutes will be taken off their time: 7 minutes for the presenter who raised the most, 6 minutes for the presenter raising the second largest amount, 5 minutes for third, 4 minutes for 4th, 3 minutes for 5th, 2 minutes for 6th and 1 minute for the presenter raising the least. The presenter with the fastest time for completing the assault course once the deduction has been made will be crowned winner of The Sport Relief Radio Assault Challenge.

Voting Rules:

1. Voting is available by telephone only between approximately 07:45 on 5 March, as will be announced on each radio station, until approximately 18:00 on 8 March 2012 as will be announced on each radio station.
