A reprise of the competition from the previous conferention, again with most of the gentlemen and at least one lady lining up to get their buttocks fondled...
Judging of the preliminary rounds was done by the organisers (thus revealing their real motive), with the final round being judged by guest judges from I Condotieri who were considerably rougher than the gay judges from the previous competition, and in my experience weren't adverse to jabbing in a finger to get an involuntary clench. Again, the only rule any one remembers is "No clenching".
In an alarming lurch towards sexual discrimination in what should theoretically, be an open and equal contest, the female competitor was disqualified for possessing a girl's bottom. This has resulted in the creation of a "Equality for all Bottoms!" movement, calling for the rules for this competition to be formalised before the next conference.
