Presenting to you golgappa oh extremely sorry it's fuchka competition.

আগমনী তে এবার এক নতুন উদ্যোগ

প্রতিযোগিতার ছলেই না হয় ফুচকা খাওয়া হোক

জিভে আসছে জল আর জেতার ইচ্ছা মনে

জলদি জলদি নাম দিয়ে দাও প্রথম একশো জনে

"Agomoni is filled with joy and craze,

Let's taste fuchkas keeping aside kurkure and lays,

With watery mouths and a spirit of winning

Come fast and enjoy without further daydreaming...."

Rules:

1. Each and every participant has to eat 10 fuchkas with a proper decorum i.e. you have to break the fuchka, then fill it with potato stuffing and add tetul jol( tamarind water).

2. Then you have to try to finish it in the lowest time possible. The ones who finish it in the lowest recorded time will be declared as the winners of this competition ( A stopwatch will be provided by our volunteers to each of the participants. Participants will have to switch on and off the stopwatch by themselves).

3. If there are single winners for each position( 1st, 2nd and 3rd ), then the usual rules will be followed. But, if there are 3 or more participants who have completed the event in the lowest time, there will be a tie-breaker round among them and 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions will be selected from them. However, if there are 2 participants who have completed this in the lowest time, tie breaker will be conducted and among them, one will be 1st and the other will be declared as 2nd. In that case, if there are more than one participant who are having the second lowest time, there will be another tie-breaker and one among them will be declared as 3rd.
