We at FDH believe strongly that the concept of fantasy sports applies well to competitions at almost every level of life. No niche competition is too marginal to fit into our worldview of competitive fantasy sports.
As such, we make it a point to cover the annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest and to draft these weapons of mass digestion for our competitive purposes.
Such a draft works best with four or five owners drafting for three rounds. We recommend a modified serpentine draft, with the third round following the same order as the second round to compensate somewhat for the dominance of the top tier on the draft board.
Here are some recent past results from the great Independence Day tradition.
Here is the home page for the sanctioning body, Major League Eating.
Here are the profiles of these “champion athletes” – and we have linked to these profiles for each competitor on our draft board.
