Rules of the World Cow Chip Throwing® Championship Contest
- Two (2) chips per contestant. Chip thrown the farthest shall be the only one counted. If the chip breaks up in mid-air during the throw, the piece going the farthest will be counted. (This does not mean the chip hits the ground and then breaks up.)
- Contestants are divided into the following: Men's Open Division; Women's Open Division; VIP Division and Team Division (Must be at least 16 years of age to participate)
- Chips shall be at least six (6) inches in diameter.
- Contestants shall select their own chip from the official wagon provided by the B.S. Enterprise Committee. To alter or shape the chips selected from the wagon in any way (except in the rare instance when a loose fragment may be removed and provided that the removal does not render that chip less than (6) inches in diameter), subjects the contestant to a twenty-five (25) foot penalty. Decision of the Chip Judge is final.
- Contestants will be registered and numbered at the official registration booth and must be ready when their number is called.
- Any sanctioned Cow Chip Throwing® Contest held anywhere in the world must use the adopted international arena layout and measurements to qualify any record throw and to be recognized officially.
