Leeds contestants wanted for new BBC show The Tournament

If you think you’re a master of strategy, general knowledge and strong nerves, new quiz show The Tournament could be the perfect competition for you.

It comes from the producers of BBC1 hit quiz QI, which has been one of the most highly rated shows in BBC4 for years, and is due to hit our screens in the autumn.

With filming due to start next month, BBC producers are currently on the hunt for West Yorkshire contestants to take part and be in with the chance of winning a huge cash prize.

Whilst QI has a jovial, comedic element to its quiz, this new show The Tournament is taking things in a slightly different direction and applying some pressure on its contestants’ nerves.

Those taking part will go head to head in a series of elimination quiz battles in order to be crowned champion, with one lucky contestant walking away with a huge cash prize.

The new show will air on BBC1 in the daytime, with auditions for successful applicants due to take place via online casting sessions in July and August.

Due to current restrictions, online casting calls could take place either in groups or individually.

Once contestants have been selected, filming is due to take place from August 9th to August 20th. They will then need to travel to Glasgow to take part in the quiz competition itself.

The last date for applications is July 12th, so if you’ve got what you think it takes to win what are you waiting for? Get involved, get applying.
