The id number for the contests list just hit 20000 (http://eatfeats.com/query.php?_table=contests&id=20000). This means there are now 20000 eating contests and challenges somewhere in the database. Thanks for everyone's contributions (Today is the 8th anniversary of the debut of the database in 2006).

Eaters with most results in database
A listing of the 10 eaters with the most results in the eatfeats database is listed below. A list of all eaters with 10 or more results is available after the jump
Highest poundages in IFOCE history
Megamunch has compiled a list of the highest poundages in IFOCE history. A list of poundages (for foods measured in pounds) above 10 obtained directly from the eatfeats database is available after the jump. The final round of Food Battle Club in 2001 had 10 kg (22 pounds) of curry.
Database improvements
The calendar now lists non contest events and competitive eating themed TV shows, so please send me any information about relevant upcoming events. Crazy Legs Conti on Eats of Strength will be rerun three times over the next three days. That is apparently the last rerun scheduled for Eats of Strength.
You can also enter a contest yourself by clicking on the “Add Contest” button in the sidebar or database query page. Contests require approval before they appear in the main database.
Click on “All 2006 Money Winners” to see everyone who has won a cash prize this year, not just the top 10.
Leading money winners added to sidebar
In a recent blog entry, megamunch had a list of suggestions for the MLE web site. One request was to keep track of the total money won for the year. It was not difficult to have the eatfeats database compute that automatically, so I have made a list of the top 10 money winners in the sidebar, based on the prize information I could find. Click on the name in the sidebar to see the breakdown. I have not been able to find prizes for all IFOCE and AICE contests. I only have the first place prize for the Fairfield rib contest and I can’t find any prize information for AICE Coney Island hamburgers or Italian sausage. You can modify the prizes in the database. The prizes do not take into account the list prices of non monetary prizes. If they did, Joey’s total would be about $20K higher due to the car he won at the Wing Bowl, and Burritos For Life winner Mike Shelley might be the overall leading money winner (the announced list price of the custom motorcycle he won is $62K)
User addition and modification of contest results enabled
Users can now add or modify results in the database. Click on the “Add Results” or “Edit Results” button on a contest’s page to add or modify results. Changes must be approved before they show up in the main database. I want to add the capability for users to add new contests and for registered users changes to not require approval in the near future.
If official contest records do not exist, I will generally record whatever an eater claims. Any controversy about a result will be listed in the results comment field.
Announcement: EatFeats.com database
I have set up a competitive eating database at EatFeats.com The database currently contains all the results I could find starting with the middle of 2005. I intend to expand the database to include earlier contests and restaurant’s “walls of fame” for eating challenges. Users can modify data about an eater or contest but not results. The modifications require approval before appearing in the main database. I hope to allow users to add and modify results soon. I also want to have this blog accessible using the eatfeats.com domain name. Any suggestions on how the database can be improved are welcome.
Updated 1/22 10:00 pm The 2002 pickle contest has been added to the database ahead of schedule due to popular demand.
