judging

Our panel of “expert” judges will score you on a scale of 1 to 10 in three core categories:

CategoryWhat the Judges Are Looking For
The LookVisual accuracy: The mustache, the tracksuit/sweater, the aviators, and the whistle, really any detail that makes you look like Ted Lasso
The VibeThe performance: The bouncy walk, the folksy charm, and that Kansas accent. We’re looking for you to really take on the persona.
Wit & CharmHow well you can win over our judges and handle a “press conference” by answering questions on the fly.

Contest format

  1. The Group Stage: All contestants take the stage. Show off your best Ted Lasso one-liner as the judges whittle the field down to the Top 20.

  2. Free Style: The Top 20 get 30 seconds to perform as Ted Lasso any way they’d like to advance to the Final 5.

  3. The Press Conference: The Final 5 sit in the hot seat for a Q&A with “reporters” to test their improv skills and character commitment
