- Contest is head to head, that way you get at least a 50% chance of winning a beer.
- Winner of the head to head gets either homebrew or regional treasure.
- 2 - 12 or 1 22oz is the standard but both parties can negotiate more or less.
- Winners will follw the same body weight % as the official HBT Belly Off Competition.
- If you are interested, post in this thread something to the effect of...
"What scallywag that frequents this public forum can best my man's loss of his ungainly waist vestige. I declare that my man, <insert name here>, can best any of your choosing under pain of beer. Who shall step up to my challenge?"
- The first poster to take up the challenge identifies his man and the OP agrees, disagrees or adds conditions, etc.
- It's my hope that in this way we can offer support to those trying to lose weight (even if we are also interested in beer). I' hoping they'll get into the spirit and make this a team effort with trash talking etc. Please consult with your HBTBO man beforehand.
- You cannot be in this if you are a contestant of The Great 2007 HBT Belly Off Competition
- In the event of a DNF, that party loses. A double DNF or tie results in both parties paying.
- Contest is between the two individuals. HBT or olllllo or mods are NOT responsible for anything.
