Pickle Eating Contest

Official Rules:
Age Requirement:
Participants must be 12 years or older. Anyone under 18 needs a parent/guardian to sign a waiver.
Time Limit:
Contestants will have 3 minutes to eat as many pickles as they can.
Pickle Type:
Standard-size dill whole pickles (all contestants receive the same type).
Hands Allowed:
You can use your hands to eat — no face-first or utensil-free requirements.
Weigh-In Method:
Each contestant starts with a pre-weighed plate of pickles.
At the end of the round, any uneaten or partially eaten pickles are re-weighed.
The difference = total weight eaten.
No Cheating:
You must fully swallow pickles to get credit.
Anything spit out, dropped, or hidden won’t count.
No sharing, helping, or interfering with others.
No splashing.
Disqualification:
Vomiting = automatic disqualification.
Unsportsmanlike conduct or arguing with judges may result in removal from the contest.
Tiebreaker:
If there’s a tie by weight, a 1-minute pickle-eating tiebreaker will decide the winner.
Judging:
All final weigh-ins and rulings are made by the official judges.
Prize:
The contestant who eats the most pickle by weight wins!
