Judging

Main Emlyn Competition 

The following aspects will be judged and points will count towards the main Emlyn Trophy competition:

• Setting Up – teamwork, leadership etc. (15 points).

• Menu - balance, suitability, originality etc. (25 points).  A printed copy of your menu showing all meals for the weekend is required to be handed in on arrival - please include details of the ingredients of meals if it is not obvious from the name of the meal.

• Conduct - prompt arrival at flag break and PL’s meetings, adherence to lights out times, safety and tidiness of site overnight (5 points per occasion, total 20 points).

• Special Project (100 points).

• Tents – quality of pitching, suitability for use, used as intended (ventilated, brailed etc.) (160 points Saturday, 80 points Sunday).

• Storage – kitchen equipment, food, personal kit and camping equipment (120 points Saturday, 45 points Sunday).

• Site – layout, safety and general impression, progress with setting up the whole site on Saturday morning and taking down altar fires and wood piles on Sunday morning (150 points Saturday, 40 points Sunday).

• Saturday Dinner - timing, hygiene, presentation, quality, quantity (100 points + 10 for prompt washing up).

• Sunday Breakfast - timing, hygiene, presentation, quality, quantity (55 points + 10 for prompt washing up).

• Optional Challenges - various challenges that can be completed during the weekend (35 points)

• Uniform - neatness and team uniformity (25 points).

• Final Site Inspection – a check on whether the site has been left as it was found (5 points, but possible to lose 30 points).

Discretionary marks (no more than 10 at a time) may also be added/deducted in exceptional circumstances (though this is rare).

The standard of equipment has no bearing on the marks, so a new tent will not necessarily gain maximum points; the suitability  of the tent and how well it is pitched will determine the marks awarded.  These marking schemes of course do not apply to non-competitive teams, and only the relevant aspects apply to teams entering the cooking competition only.
