Credit: Courtesy Photo \/ Little Woodrow&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Texas sports-bar chain Little Woodrow\u2019s is diving belly-first into summer on Sunday, May 31, with its third-annual No Flips, All Flops Belly Flop Contest. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event will take place at the Braun Road Little Woodrow\u2019s, 9840 W. Loop 1604 North. Check-in opens at 3 p.m., and the first flop is set to hit the water at 5 p.m. The event will raise funds for the San Antonio Fire Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chain is inviting San Antonians to bring their boldest, loudest belly flops to the pool. Entry is $10, and participation is limited to those 21 and up. Contestants will vie for cash prizes of $500, $150 and $50 for first, second and third place. The top three winners will also take home a wrestling-style championship belt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judges will score each splash based on size, creativity and overall \u201cwow\u201d factor, according to Little Woodrow\u2019s officials. Meanwhile, spectators can expect a fun mix of crazy costumes and comedic form, along with the unmistakable sound of perfectly executed flops.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event started at the chain\u2019s Lubbock location in 2022. Kevin Fielder, regional director of operations for Little Woodrow\u2019s, said the event is a fun way for the bar to bring together the community for a good cause.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe event was the brainchild of our Lubbock location\u2019s incredible team. With their pure genius, they pulled it together, and it has turned out to be such a success,\u201d Fielder told the Current. \u201cWe\u2019ve taken it outside of Lubbock to other locations of Little Woodrows around the state, and each time we do it, the crowd, the community, they love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants are encouraged to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScUHCSMMer-Omda9WIbHntSO1JHHpWm_HBI11LSEcWCT7ZvRw\/viewform?pli=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">register<\/a> early, but walk-up competitors are welcome. With warm weather rolling in and bragging rights on the line, the stage is set for a sun-soaked showdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a
