Payouts and Judging...

WFC Announces Payouts & Judging Processes
The World Food Championships announced today information regarding the payouts and judging processes that will be used this year at the inaugural World Food Championships.
World Barbecue Championship
The World Barbecue Championship will be judged by 100 WFC judges including both certified judges and distinguished food professionals. Categories being judged are Pork Shoulder & Butt and Sauce on Friday, and Pork Ribs and Beef Brisket on Saturday.
Competitors will be allotted a 40 foot by 20 foot space in which to compete. 20 AMPs of power and water will be provided to the competitors.
All other category competitions will be judged using the WFC’s own proprietary EAT™ Scoring Method. Each competitor’s entries will be evaluated in and across all categories based on Execution, Appearance and Taste. Scores for all categories will be a mixture of both trained or certified judges, food professionals and master judges. Scores will be weighted within the EAT methodology and blind judging will be used for all categories, except World Chef Challenge.
In each competition execution and appearance will have specific criteria with which they are judged. Specific detail at the category level of EAT™ methodology will be released very soon, including presentation guidelines and specific category turn-in and judging processes including size of turn-in platter, garnish rules and regulations.
“We are very excited to introduce the EAT methodology, which will standardize scoring systems across multiple food genres and competitions and will provide an equal basis within the category championships,” said Mike McCloud, President/CEO of Trybe Targeting.

Yes, we got our wild card invite email Friday night.
I am still trying to figure out all of the logisitics and how we are going to make it happen though (coming in from Niagara Falls, Canada).

Someone please save me a piece of parsley to use!!

I beleive the $300,000 prize money is combined for all 7 contests, $50,000 for the BBQ contest.

Congrats and a shout out to Ryan Pang of Bad "S" BBQ making that list. I had the honor of being right next to him this past weekend at our 1st BBQ Competition in Mariposa, CA and what a great guy. Very helpful and shared whatever info he had with us, well not "everything" but he answered the questions we did have. We had a blast and have gotten bit by the bbq bug big time! We will back there again next year.

Good luck all
