“The Main Event”
“Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.”
― William Barclay
The evening’s main event is a 10-round gauntlet that will test the participants on both their physical and mental endurance.
Featuring Hot One’s Season 18 sauce lineup, the event will pair one game with each sauce, with both the game and the spice increasing in intensity each round.
Event Rundown & Rules
Each of the 10 rounds consists of a 60 second game, where no “coolant” (drinks, ice-cream, etc.) is allowed (unless you are a big BABY). However, the round doesn't end once the game is over. The longer you can take the heat, the more points you can earn.
Example of a Round
Phase 1: Light the Flame
Participants step up to the table, and at the referee’s whistle, all consume the sauce simultaneously to begin the round. Participants then wait 15 seconds for the heat to be in full effect. Consuming the sauce earns you points.
Phase 2: Play the Game
Participants have 60 seconds to compete in a new game each round. Completing the game will earn you points, and finishing the game in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place will earn you even more points.
Phase 3: Endure the Pain
Participants who choose to endure “Simmer Time” without any coolant will earn extra points.
“Simmer Time” is 60 seconds in rounds 1-3, 120 seconds in rounds 4-6, and 180 seconds in rounds 7-10.
What’s at Stake
In addition to earning the glory due a champion of “Hot 901s”, the participants finishing with the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st highest amount of points will receive commemorative “Hot 901s” trophies.
