Wing Eating Contest

Please Take Caution

Eating competitions are inherently dangerous activities, and all participants expressly and voluntarily assume the risk of any and all injury and damage that may result from the participation in eating competitions. Participants understand that such risks include, but are not limited to possible bodily injury, partial or total disability, paralysis, death or other injuries or damages. Selection of participation in the event and the risks of loss, damage or injury shall at all times remain with and be borne by each participant. Participants will be required to execute a Waiver of Liability, Release, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement before participation.

The Contest

Each team will consist of one (1) female competitor and one (1) male competitor.

• Each competitor will start with exactly twenty (20) Spicy Garlic chicken wing drumsticks.
• The contest will last exactly two (2) minutes.
• Once the contest begins, competitors will consume the drumsticks and place the remaining bone back into their basket.
• At the end of the two-minute contest, the drumstick bones in each competitor’s basket will be counted by the Executive Judge. The total combined number of drumsticks eaten by the female and male competitors from each team will determine the winner.
• In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the number of drumsticks eaten by the team’s female competitor. (if still tied after this, a 30 second wing off will take place.)
