The Steak Cookoff Association is dedicated to building
the sport of steak cookoffs and is the only sanctioning
        body focused exclusively on grilling.

 All SCA events are run to the same high standard that the teams have
 come to expect, the SCA requires all promoters to agree to deliver an
              event that meets these minimum standards.

As a Promoter you are responsible for the infrastructure and safety of
                       all teams at your event.

SCA will provide systems, processes, entry of the scores, judge training,
  rules and final results and will proactively help you to market your
event to a worldwide audience through its substantial social media and
                          web based platforms.
