Cook of the Year Rules

How Points Are Awarded

Points for top 10 overall placement score is awarded as such:

Bonus Points

Bonus Contest Size points (only awarded to teams who receive a 1st-10th on the above scale):

• 2 points for each team up to the first 50  at the contest (23 teams = 46 points)
• 1 additional point per team from 51-100 (57 teams = 100 points (50*2) + 7 additional points for a total of 107 bonus points).

Bonus points max out at 100 teams. Maximum bonus points that can be earned is 150.

Examples:

2nd place at a 23-team contest = 900 + 23*2 = 946
4th place at a 125-team contest = 700 +150 = 850 points

The website will automatically calculate your best 12 events.

Note: Individual overall meat categories are calculated using the same formula as top ten overall finish at an event. The meat scores may not match a cook’s overall points. This is due to overall points being calculated independently of meat placement.

Example:

At a 45 team event 1st place brisket = 1000 + (45*2) = 1090 brisket points and 7th chicken = 400+ (45*2) = 490 chicken points and places 11th overall = no overall points.
