    i read the rules the day it came out…….Monday.
    i was actually eating at Moe’s on Sunday night while the manager was putting up the signs.

    only a few problems….. the 30 participants a0t each store will be picked out from all the entries….. pure luck.
    and there is a No Professionals clause in the literature.
    I’m paraphrasing, but it was something to the effect of … “any person who has been ranked by any one of a number of professional eating organizations within the last year”
    should probably read a little closer if you’re lucky enough to get picked to be in the local store 30

    Read their definition of professional eater again. IFOCE could learn from the way Moe’s has laid down clear rules.

    what are you checking?
    whether you are a professional or not?

    I’m not checking to see if i’m a pro or not. (Duh ) I’m checking to see if I can find a loop hole in the rules

    just being sarcastic, joe.
    you are a pro, by all definitions of the word.

    good luck finding a loophole, but the rules look pretty straight forward and well thought out.
    If you do, i’ll just have to find a way to beat ya.
    I’m in the local contest on July 4th.

    See you in Atlanta, baby.

    Professional eaters (as defined as any individual ranked by any competitive eating group or organization for a minimum of one (1) year)…are not eligible to participate.
