Judging Criteria - Chili will be judged according to 4 criteria. Chili will be rated on a scale of
5 to 10 for each of the 4 categories, and each category is weighted differently,
with the lowest judge’s score dropped;
1. Appearance – Chili should look appetizing, reddish brown and generally exciting.
2. Consistency – Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry,
watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy.
3. 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.
4. After-taste – The aftertaste or bite is the heat created by the various types of spices and or
peppers.
REMEMBER. Your chili needs to be friendly for all tasters, spice and flavor is great, but an Insanely Hot, Spicy
bowl of Chili may not be everyone’s cup of tea!!!
