Contest Rules & Regulations
The rules follow the Official Championship Rules for the US Watermelon Seed Spitting Championships in Wisconsin.
Prune spitting is an open competition for any age and sex. Height, weight, or size of mouth shall not prevent any individual from competing. Official prunes will be provided. No one will permitted to use their own prunes.
Professional tobacco spitters are not eligible. Chin dribblers shall be disqualified.
Immediate disqualification to any contestant using any form of pipe, tube, or other hollow object to propel prunes.
Any competitor receiving assistance, of any kind, at moment of prune launching shall be immediately disqualified.
Contestants who accidentally swallow prunes while sucking in air prior to prune launch, will be given one extra prune. Event organizers and sponsors shall not be held responsible for the after effects of prunes swallowed by any contestant.
People who wear dentures, whose teeth go further than the prune shall abide by judges decision: Distance prune travels is the only thing that counts. We will not provide poly‐grip.
No running, jumping, skipping, or laying down while spitting. All spitting shall be from an erect, stationary stance.
A contestant must perform as an individual in the singles events. This disqualifies contestants gaining additional distance from a swat on the rear at the time of spitting.
