TENNIS TRIVIA TUESDAY: OFFICIAL RULES

HOW IT WORKS

It's pretty simple, really: we'll ask three trivia questions via our Twitter account at 10, 12, and 2 EST, every Tuesday. You reply to us (@tennis) with your answer to the question and the hashtag #TTT. You have two hours after the question is posted to reply with your answer. (Be sure to remember the #TTT tag -- we won't count your answer for the prize drawing unless it has the tag!) After the two hours are up, we'll collect the right answers that qualify, pick one at random, and direct message the winner with good news!

And now, the legal stuff.
