Official League Rules

🌭 Hot Dog Thursdays

Every Thursday from Memorial Day through Labor Day, competitors battle for weekly dominance to celebrate the upcoming summer weekend. The idea is simple: eat the most hot dogs and become the Hot Dog Top Dog.

👑 Weekly Top Dog Crown

The weekly winner earn the official Hot Dog Top Dog crown and bragging rights, along with the right to display the 👑🌭 emojis in their group chat alias until the next round.

🏆 Season Championship Points

Weekly victories build toward the ultimate Summer Championship:

  • Regular Season Win: 3 Points
  • Major Win: 6 Points
    (Memorial Day, 4th of July, & Labor Day weeks)

⚡ Additional Competition Rules

  • Buns Optional: Buns are strongly encouraged, but not required.
  • Uniform Dog Sizing: Standard-sized hot dogs and footlongs count equally as 1 hot dog. Strategy matters, so choose wisely!
  • Strict Thursday Window: Hot dog counts are accepted exclusively on Thursdays, from 12:00 AM until 11:59 PM.
  • Pre-Holiday Majors: To preserve the spirit of Hot Dog Thursday, Major competitions take place on the Thursday immediately preceding the holiday.
  • Tiebreaker Rule: In the event of a tie on hot dog count, total bun count serves as the official secondary tiebreaker. Always log your buns!
  • Gentleman's Code: Honor is of the utmost importance. Under no circumstances should you lie about your dog consumption.

About Hot Dog Top Dog

The Pursuit of Backyard Greatness

Hot Dog Top Dog was born out of the need to find an excuse to eat a ton of hot dogs every week without feeling bad about it, and to settle a crucial question: who can put away the most hot dogs?

What started as a group chat tally to crown a weekly "Top Dog" has evolved into the ultimate competitive tracking platform. Whether you are logging standard dogs, tracking bun-count tiebreakers, or fighting for double points during Major holiday weeks, this is where you track every bite on your quest for summer glory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to create a league?

Where do I find my League ID?

Your League ID is the string of letters and numbers in your browser URL (after ?league=). You can copy this ID or share the direct link with your league members.

How are season totals and points calculated?

Points determine the season champion! Weekly winners receive 3 points for a regular week win and 6 points for a Major holiday week win. Total dogs and buns serve as tiebreakers.

Can I edit a past week's score?

Yes. Unlocking the Admin Panel allows you to select any week from the dropdown menu and update hot dog and bun counts.
