Rules

Rules for Competitors

Remember, your fellow competitors are your judges

Know your limit

While we provide as much info on ingredients, spiciness rating, etc... You participate at your own risk. We aren't liable. The same goes for booze.

To Move On

You must eat the entire wing (not just one bite). You must keep the wing down (spitting, throwing up, etc…) or are grounds for immediate disqualification. There are no judges, your neighbors and the crowd will police. Alert the hosts of any discrepancies/issues. Final say is provided by Sean, Andrew and Kevin.

No Aids

You may not use any aides or products to “help” deter the experience. You can only use what is provided by The Hot Ten. You cannot eat any other foods available to you during the competition. You can only drink what's provided in the bar package. See below activities regarding milk*. Aid examples you cannot bring or consume during competion include but are not limited to: gloves, dairy products, lemon juice, gasoline, or bleach. The last two would be generally stupid, so definitely refrain.

When eating the wings

It is now prohibited to strip the drum or "lollipop" the flats. Eat the chicken off the bone as presented. If we wanted to see everyone eat boneless wings, we would have just gone to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Keep Up

Keep pace with the group- if you are the last eater you will suffer the wrath of the crowd- hurry up.

Breaks are frowned upon

Smoke, pee, or panic before the competition starts. You may get up from your seat and move around, get a drink, cry to your mommy, so long as you do not break any of the aforementioned rules. If you miss a wing you are disqualified.

Language

Swearing, profanity, generally unacceptable language is frowned upon- there may be impressionable attendees. Be respectful.

Do Not Complain

This would be a huge waste of your time. Examples we've heard and dismissed: Wing vs leg; the size of your wing, sauce ratio, etc… We have standardized the saucing process and presort wings to promote fairness. It is what it is.

This is for Charity

This is a charity event run by volunteers. Make it fun for everyone.

Our Hosts

We've upgraded our venue to Joe's this year. Please respect their rules and space. If you need to void your bowels or stomach due to wings, please use provided trash cans and/or facilities.

Don't Drink and Drive

Eat wings and fly.

Ring the Bell!

Should you decide to shamefully bow out of the competition before wing 10 you MUST walk to the middle of the room and ring the bell. Booing and verbal shaming is HIGHLY encouraged by contestants and spectators alike. Feel the emotional burn too.

Activities

Contestants Only! MILK!

Per the rules, no aids can be used. While we've previously allowed and provided unlimited milk, We are switching it up this year. If you want a glass of milk, It'll cost you a $10 donation for EACH PINT. Donation goes directly to our featured charity. This will ONLY be poured prior to wing #1 SO STOCK UP!! OR after you ring the bell. We are preordering 15 gallons of milk only! Again you can also purchase milk after you are out.

TIMELINE AND ADDITIONAL INFO

Timeline

The doors open at 4p. If you are competing, you must be checked in and seated by 4:55. Wing 1 is served promptly at 5p. If you miss kickoff, you are out and ringing that bell.

Beers are pouring at 4p so come early and get your liquid courage down.

Competition and raffles

If customers can’t find it, it doesn’t exist. Clearly list and describe the services you offer. Also, be sure to showcase a premium service.

Food- we will have a buffet available so spectators come hungry! competitors can eat before or after, just not during the competition.

The After event plans

We have the event space until 7 pm but welcome all to migrate to Bub City to hang out afterward. The open bar will go to 7 pm only.

Parking and directions

We recommend using the parking garage. Joes Live will validate parking. Please don't drink and drive. Nothing worse than a burning bowel movement in jail. yikes.
