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.
