pared in the open. One cook must be at a station at any time (no unattended kitchens)
2.CHILI COOKED FROM SCRATCH. "Scratch" is defined as starting with raw meat. You will need to supply the cooking
mechanism – propane cooker, coleman stove, really big magnifying glass – whatever).

sils between tastings. (If a contestant refuses, his or her chili will be disqualified.)
7. Plan to make a minimum of 3-5 gallons of chili. We are hoping for a good crowd, and they can’t vote for you if
they can’t taste your chili. You’ll be tired anyway, so make enough for leftovers on Sunday. You must take lefto-
vers home or (if your chili sucks) you can try sneaking leftovers into the coolers of others.

3.Consistency – Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy,
lumpy, or greasy.
