Why did the finger-counting contest end in a tie?
Because everyone could only count on themselves!

Why did the mathematician lose the finger-counting contest?
Because he kept trying to carry the one!

I was judging a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
On the one hand, the defending champion was flawless... but on the other hand, so was he.

Why did the T-Rex get disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
Because he kept coming up short

Here's one for you:
Why was Yubaba (from Spirited Away) disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
Because she kept adding ten more fingers halfway through!
(For context: Yubaba is a witch who magically grows extra hands with 10 fingers each when counting money. She'd definitely have an unfair advantage! 😄)

Here's a fresh one for you:
Why did the concert pianist lose the finger-counting contest?
Because they kept insisting that a "perfect 10" should involve scales!
(Alternatively, playing on the unexpected twist...)
Why did the robot win the finger-counting contest?
Because it kept saying, "This is too easy—I'm counting in binary!"
Hope that gives you a chuckle! 😄

None of those are funny.

You could rework this one to make a joke that works (though it’s not hilarious or anything, just standard bad dad joke levels)

I ~~was judging~~ saw [it feels like unless you’re a guest on a panel show, this is a more natural way to open] a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
On the one hand, the ~~defending~~ returning [I'm just assuming finger-counting contests don’t operate like wrestling championships] champion ~~was flawless~~ made no mistakes [this doesn’t sound like a word that a native speaker would use in the context, but I can’t put my finger on why] ... but on the other hand, ~~so was he.~~ they didn’t make any either!
