There are two ways to get into the action. Show up at one of the events listed in the Qualifying Tour section of this website and sign up to eat in a two-minute qualifier. Make sure you get there early, because spots are limited and they fill up fast. If you are one of the top eaters in the two-minute qualifiers you will be eligible to compete in the local finals. The winner of each local final qualifies for the World Championship contest.
You can by-pass the two-minute qualifiers by registering online for the local finals. Online registration is limited for each contest and will be handled by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
Eaters are eligible to register for two contests online. Eaters may compete in a third local finals contest by qualifying in a two-minute qualifier.
