How Scoring Works

Two scoring modes to match any competition style. Pick the one that fits your event, or try both across different cookoffs.

Points Voting

Best for casual events like office potlucks, neighborhood block parties, and family gatherings. Voters rate each dish on a simple 1-5 scale. It's fast, familiar, and easy to explain to a crowd. Most people finish voting in under a minute.

Scale: 1-5 points per dish

Categories: Optional - single or multiple

Best for: 5-30 voters, quick turnaround

Scoring Mode

Best for serious competitions, fundraisers, and events where detailed feedback matters. Judges score each dish across multiple criteria - taste, presentation, creativity, or whatever dimensions you define - on a 1-10 scale. Contestants get richer feedback, and winners are determined by a more nuanced evaluation.

Scale: 1-10 per criterion

Criteria: Fully customizable per cookoff

Best for: Judged panels, competitive events
