The VH(e)L a New Type of League

[samx 1,173]

We all know the VHL as the Victory Hockey League. Well, I am here to tell you about where in another alternative world VH(e)L is the Victory Hotdog (eating) League. Crazy I know but it exists.

 

     Let me explain how this league came around. The year was about 1967 and a guy named Steve and his friend Bill raced to see who could eat the most hot dogs in 10 minutes. Well, this intrigued many people and they would line up to come to see it happen. Then people would start having competitions of their own between friends and family. This would slowly over time turn into an annual event at a fair in Bognor Regis England. Hundreds of people would turn out each year to watch grown adults eat hot dogs. The trend started to spread around the world with these contests happening in countries on every continent of the earth. Then a man by the name of George came up with a brilliant idea… make a league of hot dog eating. And that is how VH(e)L came to be.

 

     The point of the league? To eat a bunch of hotdogs! Well here's how it works… You are on teams of three and you compete against other teams to see who can eat the most hotdogs. Each match lasts about an hour. Each member of your team goes up against another member of the other team whatever team wins more rounds well then they win the match. Each round is 15 minutes of pure chaos. The rules are simple… eat as many hot dogs as possible within the time limit. The hot dogs must be plain with only a hot dog and a bun. The entire dog and bun must be gone for it to count towards your score. Each contestant is allowed two 20oz bottles of water for whatever reason they may need. If you throw up while the round is still going on you automatically lose. 

 

     There are two conferences within the league. The European Conference and the North American conference. Each conference consists of 10 different teams. You play each other team in your conference 3 times during the season. Then the top 4 teams from each conference go head to head to determine a conference winner from both sides. Once a conference winner is determined in both conferences then the two winning teams will go head to head in a 3-day tournament. Each day has 3 rounds like a normal season. Whoever wins 2 out of the 3 days wins the championship and is crowded top dogs of the year.

 

    Last season the crowned winner was the Swiss Hikers who went undefeated in the season of play and won the championship over the Seattle stingrays in 2 days with no third day even being needed. That Swiss team has been called the best team of all time. In a round of play, one of their players ate over 100 hot dogs in 15 minutes. No one in the league has ever gotten close to that. The Swiss hikers have really set a new expectation of how many hot dogs teams should be able to eat. They have certainly raised the standards of the league.
