The phone operators will shortlist a selection of entrants with the highest overall scores. A group of qualifying highest scoring callers will then be selected from this screening, rang back, and assigned individual numbers. If the Â鶹Éç is unable to contact any of the selected entrants after reasonable attempts, another entrant will be selected based to take part in their place based on the scores. Entrants must be available at the address given for the duration of the competition. If the entrant is not available, the production team will move on to the next highest scoring entrant.
