Point System

Each separate Throwdown that thinkyoucancompete.com has can be thought of as one competition in the "season". At the end of the "season" an overall winner is determined and awarded the prize for being the series champion! The overall winner will have demonstrated consistent proficiency of all the disciplines - speed, jaw strength and stomach capacity. Think World Cup of skiing. But this is the World Cup of eating!

The Point Schedule is identical to that used on the Alpine Skiing World Cup:

1st 100 points  16th 15 points
2nd  80 "       17th 14 "
3rd  60 "       18th 13 "
4th  50 "       19th 12 "
5th  45 "       20th 11 "
6th  40 "       21st 10 "
7th  36 "       22nd  9 "
8th  32 "       23rd  8 "
9th  29 "       24th  7 "
10th 26 "       25th  6 "
11th 24 "       26th  5 "
12th 22 "       27th  4 "
13th 20 "       28th  3 "
14th 18 "       29th  2 "
15th 16 "       30th  1 "

If several eaters are tied for one of the top thirty positions in a Throwdown, each of the competitors who are tied receive the points corresponding to that position. The remaining competitors receive the points corresponding to their official classification in the Throwdown.
