Judge’s Score Sheet & Guidelines

Chili will be judged according to 5 criteria. Chili will be rated on a scale of zero to 10 for each of the 5 categories;

1. Color – Chili should look appetizing, reddish brown is generally accepted as good. 2. Aroma – Chili should smell good. This also indicates what’s in store when you taste it. 3. Consistency – Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy. 4. 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. 5. After-taste – The aftertaste or bite is the heat created by the various types of spices and or peppers.

Judge each Chili on it’s on merit; do not compare one chili to another.
