    Hey OJ, you have a typo for Mark’s last name on the eatfeats database:

    http://eatfeats.com/query.php?_table=eaters&id=10232

    The correct spelling is like he has it on facebook and in the twitter post above:

    Given that the 2nd place winner is from Michigan, and that the owner knew about (as can be deducted from his linking of Ray on his facebook page):

    It appears that this contest is now open to anyone, not just in-state, which was reported here on another thread:

    I am wondering who is not allowed then?

    Pros? But Mark and Teddy clearly are pros.

    Out of state? The second-place winner came from Michigan.

    I don’t know what to say.

    Ask the owner. Brunelli and Nichols were kicked out last year. Bertoletti and Brown are banned.

    So each of the 40 competitors got 8 jumbo slices to start, and the winners ate 5+? So most of the pizza ended up wasted. Contrast that with the other recent contest at Arni’s Pizza in Indiana where you only got 1 large pizza to start. It should have been 2-3 larges to start. Each place got it completely wrong.

    So in the contest, Teddy goes by “Edward De La Cruz” instead of “Teddy Delacruz”? Is that to sneak by the owner?
