Rules (if applicable) : Eaters will have 10 minutes to eat as many Luna Park Hot Dogs and Buns (HDB's) as possible. HDB's must be eaten whole to count, i.e. the same number of buns and hot dogs. Only after both the hot dog and bun have been consumed (including any dropped components on the plate) will the HDB be counted as eaten. Crushing of buns together is not permitted. Any buns that have been crushed beyond recognition will not be counted toward the total. The person who eats the most HDB's in that 10 minute period will be deemed the winner and will be awarded the major prize. Chimpmunking at the end of the competition is allowed. Dunking throughout the competition is allowed. Water will be provided. No other food or drink other than has been provided can be consumed during the competition. In the event of a tie, an "Eat Off" will occur, where the tied contestants (2 or more) will each be given a Hot dog and bun to consume as fast as possible. After the conclusion of the competition, and the start of the "Eat Off", the contestants are not permitted to leave the competition area. This includes bathroom breaks. The person who consumes the HDB the fastest showing an open mouth (to confirm the HDB has been fully consumed) will be deemed the winner. Any contestant that vomits within the 10 minute competition period will be disqualified.
