    How is it that some major league eaters (at least seem to) get away with doing these extra-IFOCE events, whereas others get booted from the organization at the drop of at hat?

    In the world I live in perception equates to reality. The rules need to be laid out on the table, so to speak, so that everyone understands them, and the IFOCE should enforce the same standards for everyone, as specified in the contract(s).

    Otherwise, the appearance that the IFOCE favors some eaters over others can easily create and perpetuate an atmosphere of contempt among fellow gurgitators.

    It was an IFOCE sponsored exhibition last year:

    The one earlier this year was IFOCE sponsored; there’s no prize money, so there is no reason for Hall to travel there unless he was asked to be there. And he probably received travel money.

    Sounds like you’re just jealous that you weren’t asked. So, go enter the qualifier and try to get in!
