Rules of Wing Bowl 2010

Twenty-nine contestants and about 20,000 people attended Wing Bowl 2010, also known as Wing Bowl 18. Wing Bowl is always held the Friday before the Super Bowl. The event began shortly after 6 a.m. — pretty early in the morning for chowing down hundreds of chicken wings.

As usual, the first 14-minute round moved the top 10 qualifiers to the next 14-minute round.

For his nearly record-breaking efforts, Squib won a Ford F-150 truck.
