    • Water Is Allowed: Water or other non-alcoholic beverages may be used to help with swallowing. The dunk-and-slam technique is legal.
    • Stay in the Zone: All eating must happen within your designated area. 
    • Hands Only: No tools, utensils, or hot dog engineering allowed. 
    • No Reversals of Fortune: If anything comes back up, you're disqualified. Got to keep it down.
    • Final Count: When the timer hits 00:00, chew what’s in your mouth, but no new dogs can be grabbed. Judges will count the remains and verify totals.
    • Judges Have the Final Say: Respect the ruling of the judges.
