Y'all know the drill.
Bring your best.
Remember that murderous heat isn't a guaranteed win- we want depth of flavor, spice, complexity, ingenuity.
Pro/Am.
if you compete, you get to try them all and cast one vote, free.
if you're just showing up to eat, $10 lets you try em all and cast a vote, and 100% of that money goes to the top three.
On top of that, Dencker always buys some prizes- sometimes it's hot sauce, sometimes it's a soup ladle that looks like the Lich Ness Monster...sometimes it's a couple super cool Roxtar Bar drink chips (which are conveniently shaped like guitar picks, for your convenience in KNOWING, with tactile confirmation, they're ours), among other prize possibilities.
per years of tradition, you vote for your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice.
Each #1 vote nets 3 points.
Each #2 vote nets 2 points.
Each #3 vote nets 1 point.
The cash entry (plus a random, undisclosed amount from Dencker's pocket) is divided up similarly- for every ten dollars paid at the door, $3 goes to our #1 winner, $2 each paid taster to our #2 winner, and a dollar each to our 3rd Place winner, with that remaining dollar arbitrarily thrown around, as needed, to simplify the math.
If that weren't enough, hang around, because we have karaoke to follow!
