We find that it’s sometimes difficult to come up with your full sports history and that people sometimes get frustrated when filling that part out in joining Team Nick. While we understand this, at the same time our world class scientists here at Nick’s Sports Bar have developed a test that you can use to help determine your sports history. Instead of writing your history down, you can just list all your teams as a fan and as a player and hand this test in with your application. The test is super fun to take and really easy, especially for the average sports fan.

So, sit back, relax and get ready for the test!
