Fast Feet, Smooth Sheets Cap Super 8 Bedmaking Championship Saturday January 31, 6:06 pm ET PARSIPPANY, N.J., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Two minutes and three seconds: That's all it took for Rebecca Rother, a housekeeper at the Salt Lake City, Utah, Super 8® motel, to make a bed today and claim the title of Fastest Bedmaker in North America. Competing in the Super 8 Motels International Bedmaking Championship today at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., Rother beat 27 of the fastest and finest Super 8 housekeepers from across the United States and Canada to claim the title and the prize of $25,000 cash. Becky Ulrich of the Spokane Valley, Wash., Super 8 motel finished second with a time of two minutes and five seconds, winning $8,888. Ida Doggett of the Ogallala, Neb., Super 8 motel placed third and took home a prize of $4,444. Contestants in this unique challenge were judged on speed and accuracy. Contestants fitted a queen-size bed with two sheets, two pillows, two pillowcases, a blanket and a comforter. Each wrinkled sheet, crooked bedspread or improper "Super 8 tuck" added five seconds to a contestant's time. More than three penalties resulted in disqualification. CC
