Apple has designed the contest around three elimination rounds, with each stage testing how closely participants can match Ted Lasso’s personality, confidence, humour, and positive coaching style.
How the Ted Lasso look-alike contest works
During the first round, called “Ted Energy,” contestants will introduce themselves while staying in character before taking part in a two-minute dance break. Judges will then select the strongest performers for the next stage.
The second round, called “Head Coach,” will include a trivia game and will judge how well each semi-finalist understands and presents the Ted Lasso character.
The final round, called “Ted Talk,” will ask the remaining contestants to deliver a short pep talk to the crowd, giving them one final chance to show their best Ted impression.
The contest offers four prizes worth about $300 in total. Each finalist will receive a custom soccer scarf, while the first-place winner will also receive a pair of custom Beats headphones.
Fans can review the full contest rules, judging details, and participation requirements on the official Gathering of the Teds website before attending the event.
