Championship Round = 10 Minutes

All contestants must be 18 years of age or older as of October 3rd, 2020.

Participation in this event will be at the discretion of the festival committee, as they reserve the right to review an entrant’s qualifications and accomplishments.

Winners decided by number of burgers consumed in 10 minutes (measurements by 1/4 of hamburgers eaten)

Food cannot be touched or manipulated by eaters prior to start

Eaters can drink as much room temperature (or colder) liquid while eating

“Picnic Style” rules will be enforced

– Food cannot be dunked in liquids or have liquids poured on the food
– Food cannot be separated, torn or otherwise modified
– Food cannot be mashed or balled
– All reasonable efforts must be taken to keep food intact
– For this event, hamburgers must be picked up and eaten as they are intended to be eaten – lower bun, hamburger and upper bun must always be eaten as one food unit

Any reversal during the 10 minute Eating Championship will result in immediate disqualification

Any Picnic Style Rule infraction will result in either a penalty assessed (deduction of one burger) or immediate disqualification
