How to Judge a Fat Bear
1) Neck. A champion Fat Bear doesn't have one. A neck implies a distinction between head and body, and we want one continuous situation. If you can point at a neck, that bear is not a winner.
2) Belly clearance. Measure the gap between the belly and the ground while standing. Zero is ideal. Negative is legendary. We want the bear to look like it is resting on its own belly like a beanbag.
3) June to September Glow Up. The greater the transformation, the higher the score. Anyone can be fat. Not everyone can become fat this quickly with this much commitment.
4) Fluff FakeOut. Some bears are just coat. Look for jiggle on the walk, a genuine wobble that continues briefly after the bear has stopped. Fluff does not wobble.
5) Vibes. If a bear looks athletic, wrong contest. We want confidence, a smugness that can only come from gorging itself with 40 salmon before lunch. It must barely be able to walk and also look so proud of itself as it trudges.
