Announcing Fantasy Eating!
By Liz and Krista from October 26, 2006
We would like to announce the launch of Fantasy Eating to commence during the Krystal Burger competition on October 28th in Chattanooga Tennessee.
Two teams will face each other for a head-to-head fantasy eating battle. This idea is based on the Fantasy Football idea (Krista would like to thank her new job at the NFL for the inspiration), but we are modifying it to fit the sport of competitive eating...because that's how we roll. However, there is a twist, unlike Fantasy Football, the actual eaters will be participating in our fantasy contest.
The two team captains will be "Humble" Bob Shoudt and Crazy Legs Conti. Each team captain was randomly given an equal number of people (with one exception because of the uneven number of contestants) and will select which person will be in what eating position. The positions are as follows:
Position Chew (good jaw strength)
Position Stomach Capacity (they have been water training since they were in diapers)
Position Swallow (not one to ever have a reversal)
Position Personality (someone who looks good in front of the camera and/or knows how to use their God-given charisma)
Position Finesse (an ease and beauty when eating)
Each team can also choose one person, not competing at Krystal Burger Finals, to serve as the team mascot or coach. The captain not only gets to decide what position each person will play, but they also got to name their team.
The two teams are as follows:
Team Krystal Killers
Captain "Humble" Bob
Joey Chestnut
Chip Simpson
Seaver Miller
Dale Boone
Arthur Rios
Kobayashi
Team Squeezable Buns
Captain Crazy Legs Conti
Pat Bertoletti
Sonja Thomas
Tim Janus
Rich LeFevre
Justin Mih
The winning team will be chosen using normal fantasy sport scoring. Players earn points based on their performance during the competition. Criteria for each point earned will be revealed during the close of competition.
Lots more to come. We have fight songs being selected, logos being designed, and team captains ready to come to fantasy blows for their fantasy team.

Those aren't mice! That is a tough grip!
Koby had to go last so both teams would have an equal chance of getting him. There is an uneven number of people competing, so that's how we dealt with it :-)

I love it! "Kobayoshi" drafted last? Veerrrry, interesting. Why are those mice eating Team Squeezable Buns' burger?
