The side dish categories are baked beans, potatoes and vegetables and must be prepared on site. No side dish will contain more than 7.5% meat or fish products. The combined total of scores from each category will determine the overall champion. All safe handling of food and sanitation regulations required by KCBS apply to the Side Dish Contest. Refer to rule #15 of the KCBS Rules and Regulations,
www.kcbs.us. Each team may have only one entry per category. Six judges will judge your entry. You may turn in either six (6) separate portions or one large portion with enough for six judges. Your entry must fit into the Styrofoam container provided with the lid closed. The label with your team number must be on the top of the container. All entries must be prepared on site and within your team’s assigned space. You may use any heat source to cook your entry at any time after your team has checked in. KCBS garnish requirements do not apply to this contest. Garnish is optional; however, the lid must close on your container. Do not do anything to your entry that identifies that it came from your team. The scores for the Side Dish Contest will not be included in your regular American Royal Barbecue Contest scores. This is a separate competition.
This is last years rules but should still be the same.
