How Chilifest voting works

  1. Round 1: Everyone votes

    Pick your 6 favorite chilis and rank them from #1 (your favorite) to #6. Higher ranks earn more points. Points: #1 earns 6, #2 earns 5, #3 earns 4, #4 earns 3, #5 earns 2, #6 earns 1.

  2. Round 2: The cooks decide

    The 3 chilis with the most Round 1 points move on. Only people who brought a chili vote in this round. Rank the 3 finalists from #1 (favorite) to #3.

  3. The winner

    The chili with the most Round 2 points wins!

  4. If there's a tie

    Everyone who voted in Round 1 gets 100 points to split among the tied chilis however they like. The chili with the most points after the tiebreaker wins.

Double-check before you submit! Once your vote is in, it can't be changed.
