The Boat Race is an annual event with two teams of competitors taken from the boat teams of Oxford University, and Cambridge University. This evening they take to the River Thames yet again to see who will be crowned the champions this year, and what better way to celebrate than to have a competition whereby you could win prizes if you choose the correct winner!
There will be requirements to fulfil to be in with a chance of winning the grand prizes.
Below there's a quiz featuring questions about The Boat Race and the history of it, to be in with a chance of winning you will be required to answer the questions and PM Samanfa with your answers. The more you get right, the bigger your prize and it will be made of VIP and Tokens for the forum. You also have the chance to win an additional 1 week VIP and 50 Tokens for correctly predicting who will win today.
Although you get prizes for answering correctly on the quiz, one lucky winner will receive an additional 2 months VIP and 200 Tokens!
The rules are simple, the questions must be PMed to Samanfa (as this thread will be closed), and there will be another thread created in the Sports Forum whereby you can say whether you think Oxford or Cambridge will win! You have until 5:30pm BST to make your prediction and enter the quiz!
