Five Amateurs Picked On The Spot to Go Against Patrick Bertoletti
Who will join Bertoletti at the Chattanooga Qualifier to battle it out for a seat at the final table?
Patrick Bertoletti is most well known for being the second-ranked competitive eater in the world, but even he had to start somewhere. And, with the new Big Angus Points and No-Dunking rule, Bertoletti won’t necessarily be starting over at the Chattanooga Qualifier, but he’ll definitely be rethinking his eating strategy. It might just be the best year yet for amateur hopefuls to come steal a spot at the championship table in downtown Chattanooga on Sept. 27. Step aside “Pros” and welcome “Average Joes.”
Open registration for Five Amateur Spots at the Chattanooga Qualifier will begin at 2 p.m. at the Main Stage of the Southern Brewers Festival on the Chattanooga Riverfront. It’s your chance to be one of the five people selected “on-the-spot” to compete in the eight-minute event and earn a seat at the finals next to the world’s number one ranked eater Joey Chestnut. But have no fear, if you don’t end up winning the Chattanooga Qualifier, all hope is not lost. You still have a shot to win one of the coveted wild card spots based on the number of burgers you consume.
So, start planning your path to the final table now and be the first amateur in Krystal Square Off History to beat out one of the competitive eating pros at this year’s Chattanooga Qualifier. And remember, you must be 18 years or over to compete. Good Luck!

The square off entry is a joke, preference is given to the Pros??? What is that, as a local and a long time Krystal eater this seems to be a very unfair practice, I guess that is how last years championship was 11 Pros and 1 Joe. Krystal should rethink letting this federation do the contest, they are in it only for their eaters and not the competition.
