VOTING GUIDELINES

Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in Appeal.

This round is the first of the elimination rounds. We had 27 contestants who entered during the first 3 rounds and I would like to thank all of you for your participation and efforts.

Borneo, Cholula and AntiAcid helped me behind the scenes and thus cannot be declared winners, though I'll be tracking the scores of any dishes submitted for fun :-)

Other eliminated contestant may post dishes for consideration if they wish to continue playing along, but votes will not be tallied for them.

Regular rules (timestamps and identifiers) still apply. Should any of the top 15 contestant wish to bow out, please get in touch with me so that I may bump up one of the others in your place!
