5. Each contestant must cook a minimum of eight (8) quarts of competition chili. A
portion of this chili will be submitted to the judges and the rest will be for public
consumption.
6. Each contestant will be assigned a “contestants’ number” by the scorekeeper and be
given a container in which their chili will be collected for official judging.

2. Flavor: The chili should have good flavoring and chili pepper taste (not too hot or too
mild)
3. Consistency: Chili should be a smooth combination of meat and gravy not too thin or
too thick
4. Spice and taste: Blending of the spices and how well they have permeated the meat
5. Aroma: This will be a personal preference of the judge
6. Color: The submitted chili should look appetizing
