An official judge will be on hand to make sure all steinholders adhere to the official rules, including :

  • The competitor who can hold their stein with proper form (as described in the rules) for the longest without being disqualified by the judge will be considered the winner.
  • An infraction of any rule will result in a strike being issued by the competition judge. After two strikes, the third strike results in immediate disqualification of the competitor.
  • If any amount of beer spills or drips off of the stein, the competitor is immediately disqualified, regardless of the number of strikes previously assigned.
  • Once the match has started as signaled by the judge, the competitors will immediately extend their arms, and may not set the stein back down, switch hands, or touch the stein with their off-hand (hand not holding the stein).
