Events

Guess The Flavor
A blindfolded taste test in which the competitors must guess the flavor of the chip. Winner is chosen through elimination rounds.

Chip put
Like the shot put, participants select their chip and compete to see who can throw or fling it the greatest distance without the chip breaking.

Chip toss and catch
A pairs event in which partners take turns tossing a chip into an empty bag held by their partner. Tossing distance increases with each turn.

Chip Beauty pageant
A completely biased, ridiculous judging of a potato chip’s beauty. ENTER YOUR MOST GORGEOUS CHIP INTO THE PAGEANT BY BRINGING YOUR OWN. Judges are looking for physical, as well as inner beauty.

How many chips in the jar
Yep, that one. Registration done on-site.

Pentathlon
You are a pentathlete if you take part in all five contests
