Bring a friend to rugby - and win RWC tickets!

With the Rugby World Cup just days away, we're excited to launch a senior Old Bedians initiative which is #toobigtomiss!

Tickets for England v Uruguay at the Etihad Stadium are up for grabs if you can recruit a friend (or friends!) to come and play for Old Bedians.

We have two pairs of tickets to give away for England v Uruguay at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Saturday 10 October. It's the only game in Manchester and tickets are hard to come by so a great prize to get your hands on!

To win, you just need to persuade as many of your friends, family, colleagues or blokes you meet in the street to come and play for Old Bedians on or before Saturday 3 October.

Two tickets will be awarded to the player or member who recruits the largest number of new players. This person can rightly claim to be 'King of Recruitment' at Bedes!

But if that wasn't enough, everyone who recruits at a new player gets a second bite of the cherry! All players recruiting at least one new player will be entered into a draw to win one further pair of tickets. To keep it competitive, each new player recruited gives you an entry into the draw - so if you recruit 3 players, your chance of winning is tripled!

To enter, all you have to do is fill in the online form at http://j.mp/OBbringafriend. New players don't need to have played before you submit their entry as all 'new' players will be verified by team captains. Make sure you fill in the form for each friend you recruit - you get one entry for each friend who plays so more friends recruited = more chance of winning!

Full rules are outlined below.

'Bring a friend to rugby' rules:

  • Applicants must be current paying members of the rugby section (includes pay-and-play and social members from the 2015/16 season)
  • Prizes awarded will be as follows:
  • The member or player who recruits most players (verified by the Committee) will win two tickets to England v Uruguay, Rugby World Cup Pool A game (Saturday 10 October, 20:00)
  • In the event of a tie, a fair draw will be held to decide the winner of the tickets
  • All other members or players who recruit at least one player (verified by the Committee) will be entered into a draw to win a further two tickets to England v Uruguay, Rugby World Cup Pool A game (Saturday 10 October, 20:00)
  • Each player recruited (verified by the Committee) will count as one entry into the draw. In other words, one current player is permitted to have multiple entries into the draw
  • The draw for tickets will exclude all entries from the outright winner.
  • All entries must be made online via the online form available at http://j.mp/OBbringafriend, on or before 23:59 on Thursday 1 October 2015. Any entries received after this date will not be accepted.
  • Announcement of winners, and the draw for second pair of tickets will take place on Saturday 3 October 2015, following completion of Old Bedians fixtures on that date. The announcement will take place in the Old Bedians bar, and notice placed on the Old Bedians website, Twitter and Facebook pages shortly after.
  • Completion of the online form does not indicate acceptance of a competition entry. All entries will be verified by the Committee before entry into the competition is confirmed.
  • ‘New’ players must have played at least one game for any Old Bedians senior team in the 2015/16 season (including pre-season friendlies) on or before Saturday 3 October 2015 in order to qualify. The committee (including team captains) will verify all appearances.
  • Any players recruited must not have played any games for Old Bedians at any point in the past in order to qualify as ‘new’.
  • Any dispute over qualification of entries, the way that prizes are allocated or any other query will be referred to the Chairman for a final and binding decision.
