Thanks for posting more complete results.
Why doesn't the IFOCE get it. If they want these competitions to really be considered sport, and the IFOCE the governing body, they have to announce lineups for each contest beforehand, on gameday tell the assembled crowd who finished where and how much they ate, and post full results after each contest. EVERY other sport does this, so get with it IFOCE. Let the world know about precontest lineups - that will get anyone who cares even more excited. When the contest is over, compile full results and let the crowd know how everyone did - they may want to compare how the little guy over there did compared to the huge guy or whatever. Then post full results so the world can know how everyone did. The IFOCE does great at saying who went 1,2,3 or who finished in the money spots. I think the IFOCE not doing this shows they don't give a rat's ass about any of the eaters beyond who they have to pay for finishing on top. I know many more people feel this same way. Right now contests end and everything just dissolves. Can we petition the IFOCE to do this?
