The Blackpool Final
The final takes place in Blackpool on a weekend in early September. The headquarters for the event is the Hilton Hotel on North Shore, where the theory tests are held and the awards ceremony takes place.
Eligibility
Drivers of local bus and inter-urban express services such as National Express and Green Line are eligible to compete if they have been employed as a driver, (not necessarily by the same company,) since 1st September of the year preceding the competition, and during the same period have not been involved in an accident for which they are in any way at fault, have not been absent from work for any period exceeding fourteen weeks continuous duration, and have no extant endorsements on their licences at the time of application. BDoY seeks to reward full-time drivers who exercise their skills throughout the year, and it is therefore also a requirement that a driver works at least three full shifts per week in order to qualify for entry to the competition.
