FGB Live Trivia — Official Rules

Sponsor and administrator

This skill-based daily trivia championship is sponsored and administered by Educational Partnerships to Impact Children, Inc. (EPIC).

Free to play — no purchase necessary

No purchase, donation, subscription, like, share, comment, or minimum watch time is required to play, to score, to reach a prize tier, or to win. Nothing you buy or give improves your chances. This is not a raffle, lottery, sweepstakes, or drawing, and no outcome is decided by chance.

Prize ladder

One cumulative prize is awarded for each America/Chicago competition day, based on how many unique eligible players take part that day. The prize is split evenly between the individual daily champion and the champion's ZIP Community Grant Fund.

1–100 unique eligible players: $10 total ($5 champion + $5 ZIP). 101–199: $15 total ($7.50 + $7.50). 200 or more: $20 total ($10 + $10). Amounts and thresholds are administrator-configured and may change for future competition days; the unlocked prize for an active day never decreases.

Eligibility

Prize eligibility requires an EPIC account, a confirmed City of Rockford location and a participating Rockford ZIP code. Anyone may view and play in exhibition mode; exhibition play never affects unique player counts, the prize ladder, standings, the championship or any prize.

Each registering adult must be 18 or older, or must register as the parent or legal guardian claiming on behalf of a minor. We do not collect a minor's name, birthdate, email or other identifier.

One eligible identity per person per day counts toward the daily player threshold, no matter how many attempts that person plays.

Attempts, scoring and tie-breaks

You may play an unlimited number of attempts each competition day. Every attempt draws a newly randomized set of questions with randomized answer-choice order, so no two attempts are guaranteed to repeat.

Each question has one predetermined correct answer set before the attempt is generated. Correct answers earn points; incorrect, unanswered and late answers earn none. Attempts are graded by EPIC's servers from the question set stored when the attempt began; a score submitted by a player's device is never trusted.

Your daily prize score is the average of your three highest completed attempt scores for that day. If you complete fewer than three attempts, only the attempts you completed are averaged — your score is never padded with zeroes and three attempts are never required to qualify. Playing additional attempts can raise your daily score and never lowers it.

Only completed attempts count. An abandoned, discarded, duplicated or administrator-voided attempt is retained as history and excluded from scoring, standings, the championship and every prize calculation.

The daily champion is the eligible player with the highest daily prize score. Tie-breaks are applied in this order and are entirely skill-based: (1) higher daily average; (2) higher single best attempt; (3) higher second-best attempt, where having no second attempt ranks below any actual second score; (4) earlier server-recorded completion time of the attempt that established the qualifying daily result. Chance and random drawings are never used.

Claiming a prize

Results are finalized as a provisional outcome and reviewed by an administrator before any obligation is created. Winners are private by default and are not publicly identified. Prizes are fulfilled manually (for example by PayPal or Cash App) with a payment reference.

After an administrator verifies and confirms the daily champion, that champion (or the adult parent/legal guardian claimant) receives a single-use, expiring claim link. Opening the link requires signing in with the account that played — the link by itself never grants access.

Prizes must be claimed within seven (7) days of notification. Taxes are the responsibility of the recipient where applicable. Void where prohibited. Duplicate, inaccurate, automated or abusive entries may be disqualified.

Payout information — winners only

Payout information is never requested at registration and is never requested from participants. Only a verified, confirmed daily champion is asked for it, on the secure claim page.

We collect only: your payout method (PayPal or Cash App); your PayPal payout email address OR your Cash App $Cashtag; your confirmation that the payout account belongs to or is controlled by you, the verified adult claimant, and can receive US payments; and your confirmation of the individual prize amount. For a minor beneficiary, the adult parent or legal guardian supplies and controls the payout account.

EPIC will never ask for a PayPal or Cash App password, sign-in credential, one-time code, bank account or routing number, debit or credit card number, PIN, API key, or security answer. Do not provide them to anyone claiming to represent EPIC.

Your payout address is treated as private financial-contact data. It is stored with administrator/service-only access, is shown to you and in internal screens only in masked form (for example k***h@domain.com or $C***g), and is never included in public pages, the broadcast, exports, emails, links or logs. A full address can be seen only through an audited administrator action taken to send your payment.

Payments are sent manually by an administrator, who records the provider, amount, payout date and a non-secret transaction reference. Nothing is transferred automatically. PayPal and Cash App are independent providers, are not sponsors of this game, and their own terms apply to your account with them.

We keep the masked address and the transaction reference as accounting and audit evidence. The full payout address can be purged on request or under EPIC's administrator-controlled redaction practice; accounting and audit records are retained. The winner's ZIP Community Grant Fund share is a separate obligation and never involves payment-app information.

Data we use

To play for a prize we store your EPIC account identifier, the adult claimant's name and email, your Rockford confirmation and ZIP code, your attestation, your rules acceptance, and the answers and server-recorded response times you submit. This is used only to run and audit the competition.

Public pages and the broadcast show only ZIP-level standings and sanitized progress — never names, emails, account identifiers or addresses. Our data practices follow the EPIC Privacy Policy and Terms.

Platform disclaimers

YouTube is not a sponsor of this game and is not involved in administering it. The Chicago Bears and the National Football League are not sponsors of, do not endorse, do not administer and are not associated with this game.

Growth Captain (referral) competition

• Growth Captain runs as a weekly and a monthly competition only. There is no daily Growth Captain prize.
• A qualifying referral is a person who follows your referral link, has never previously completed an eligible Football's Greatest Bears trivia attempt, legitimately registers with their own account, and then completes their first eligible (non-exhibition) attempt.
• Each person can count for only one referrer, and only once, ever.
• Duplicate, fraudulent, self-created, exhibition, ineligible, rejected, or under-review referrals do not count. Referrals never change your trivia score, your entry, or anyone's prize eligibility.
• All Growth Captain period timing uses America/Chicago (Central Time).
• Ranking is by the most verified qualifying referrals in the period. Ties are broken by the earliest qualifying referral, and if still tied by a deterministic account/system tie-break.
• Referrals under review or rejected do not count. Abuse, fraud, duplicate accounts and self-created accounts may be disqualified after administrative review. Shared household or network signals alone never cause automatic disqualification.
• Growth Captain is separate from trivia scoring. It does not change your score, your entry, or any other player’s chance of winning.
• Growth Captain prizes are the currently configured amounts. Future prize configurations may change only for future periods; a period that has already started keeps the amount snapshotted when it started.
