Chili will be judged on a scale of 0-5 for each of the following categories:
Color - Chili should look appetizing!
Aroma - Chili should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it!
Consistency - Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy
Taste - Taste above all else. Taste is the most important factor. The taste should consist of a combination of meat, spices, etc. with no particular ingredient being dominant.
After-Taste - The after-taste or “bite” is the heart created by the various types of spices or peppers.
Name - Bring your best unique and creative name game.
