Former MLB umpire Eric Gregg, who is the "commisioner" of Wing Bowl. He has two assistants who help him, but he has final say.

They are pretty stringent about what constitutes a clean wing.

Wing Bowl has one other rule. "You Heave, You Leave". Last year, a guy named Coondog O'Karma from Ohio was leading by two wings going into the home stretch. Then he lost it and El Wingador just kept on going. Coondog holds the record for dounts. I think its 25 in 3 and a half minutes, but I'm not sure.

This year Coondog O'Karma wasn't even in the top 5.

Ex-major league baseball umpire, and local home-grown talent: Eric Gregg (who probably would win if he entered)

I'm reminded of a contestant who took issue with a rib eating contest because he ate "1" rib but ate the whole thing, meat and bone, while the other contestants left plenty of scraps on their plates.
