‘Gathering of the Teds’ coming to Apple Fifth Avenue this week for three-round competition
Apple TV’s biggest debut of the year is happening this week.
Ted Lasso season 4 ** premieres Tuesday night, August 4 at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT**.
You can watch Ted Lasso here with an active Apple TV subscription.
To celebrate the show’s return, Apple’s marketing team has cooked up something special: a Ted look-alike contest happening in New York City.
This Thursday, August 6 at 5:00pm in the Apple Fifth Avenue Plaza will be the “gathering of the Teds.”
Per the official website, gatheringoftheteds.com, the contest involves three rounds, each of which will bring eliminations:
Round one (“Ted Energy”) will be based on guest participation in the contest game of introducing themselves in character and having a two minute dance break. […]
Round two (“Head Coach”) will be based on the semi-finalist’s participation in a trivia game and the level to which each participant embraces the Ted Lasso character. […]
In Round Three (“Ted Talk”) the contestant will present a short pep talk to the crowd.
The site includes full rules for the contest, including judging criteria for each round.
Prizes: “Four (4) prizes totaling $300 in approximate retail value (“ARV”), consisting of a custom soccer scarf (3) for each finalist and custom Beats headphones (1) for the first prize winner are available to be won.”
