The rider who completely knocks out the bottom of the barrel is crowned „bottom king“. The rider who hits the last piece of the barrel's casing is crowned „stave king“. And finally, the rider who knocks off the very last piece of the barrel is the "barrel king".
The town‘s school children can participate in a mini-version of barrel beating on foot.
On Saturday night before the festival, the Tonnenbund Wustrow e.V. organises a party tent with music and dancing on the festival site. The traditional riders' ball takes place on the fairground on the evening of the competition.
