YOU MUST SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE
This is to prevent the contest from being too crowded to be fun, and so the organizers know how many contestants to expect.
Two dwarves can be seen roaming around the cities and inns around Baldur's Gate nailing posters to bulletin boards, trees, and one unfortunate human who was standing in one place for too long. "Ach. Thought ye were a statue... sorry". Muttered Durgan as the human yelped and ran away.
The posters read:

Last Man Standing and Rumble Pit
Drinking Contest and Pit Brawl
It is the pleasure of King Dovkin Battlehammer to challenge the hearty folk of the Sword Coast to a traditional dwarven drinking contest followed by a pit brawl at the arena North of Baldur's Gate. There will be no entry fee, however donations will be taken and proceeds will go toward the building of the Kraak Helzak Clanhold. Winners of the drinking contest will receive engraved drinking steins while winners of the pit brawl will receive engraved belts. There will be three entry categories for each event: Beginner, Veteran, Greybeard. Awards will be given for winners in each category. Come one come all and pit your might against the dwarven ale and the rumble pit!

-All contestants in a category will join the judge's party stand behind the drinking table -At the judge's signal, all will take a drink by first doing the drink animation, then rolling a Fortitude Check Roll.
