Timing: 1 beer and 1 dog per inning, must down both as soon as possible when the inning ends (<1 minute)

Allowances: None. Beers are the standard draft volume the park sells. Dogs are whatever size the park sells and footlongs count as 2 regular dogs. Timing is strict.

adjustments

Got beef with beef?

Veggie dogs are an approved substitute.

If there are no dietary-restriction compatible dogs you can attempt the Weeny challenge with a single food item (e.g. nachos) if approved by your whole group.

Teetotaling?

If you can’t drink alcohol, non-alcoholic beer is an approved substitute. No other allowances granted.

But what about…

Listen. The 9x9x9 deserves respect. Think about the spirit of the game, the joy of spending time with your pals, the thrill of treating your body like garbage. Bad-faith substitutions don’t belong at the ball game. Substitutes at the discretion of the jury of your judgmental peers.
