The Kudu dung pellet spit furthest wins. Unlike most distance sports, the distance of the spit is measured according to where the pellet comes to rest, and not where it first hits the ground. Preparation Pellet selection is taken very seriously. The piece of dung in question must have certain characteristics which identify it as a pellet worthy of winning the World Championships. The consistency must be firm, not crumbly, otherwise the pellet could break up in the mouth, resulting in a bad aftertaste, and the ridicule of the other competitors.
Moisture is another factor.
Moisture content is directly proportional to how fresh the pellet is. Even the most die-hard of competitors is unwilling to put a fresh pellet in his mouth, as this is just plain disgusting. Spitting There are many ways to spit the pellet, although all of them of course involve putting a piece of dung in your mouth. This is, unfortunately, unavoidable. Some contestants like to soak their pellets in a liquid shortly before spitting, as this increases the weight of the pellet, and thus the momentum of the pellet will be increased when it is spat.
