  INFORMATION FOR CHILI COOK-OFF

  CONTESTANTS

  All contestants must pre-register for the cook-off. Entry fee is $5.00 per chili submission. Each chili submission requires a new entry. For example, if you are submitting two different types of chili, you should submit one entry for each chili.  

  Contestants must drop off their chili submissions upstairs between 5 pm and 6 pm on Friday. Please bring 1 gallon of chili for judging. Be sure that your chili is hot and in a container (such as a crock pot or cast iron pot) that will keep it warm for at least an hour. 

  CATEGORIES

  • Traditional Red Chili (any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with RED chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA)
    

  • Chili with Beans (any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients including beans) 

  • Freestyle Chili (any variation of chili that does not fall into the above two categories including but not limited to vegetarian and Green Chili)  
    

  Game, turkey or other non-traditional meats may be included in the Traditional Red Chili category, but can also be included in the Freestyle Chili if you so choose. Anything with beans should be in the Chili with Beans category. 

  JUDGING

  Judging of the chili submissions will be done by our dinner attendees. Registration to attend dinner and participate in judging is $10. Seats are limited so sign up early! You will receive five or more chips (depending on submission count) that will be used to vote for your favorite chili(s). You can use all of your chips to vote for one submission, or spread it across various chili submissions. You will also receive a bowl of chili with all of the toppings and bread. 

  AWARDS
  

  Each top winner in the three categories listed above will receive an award. In addition, the overall winner (the one with the most votes overall) will be named the 2018 Chili Cook-Off Winner on the perpetual trophy that will be kept at the clubhouse.

  The WORLD FAMOUS
    AL SCHLITZ
  BEER CAN REGATTA

  
  

  Saturday, October 20th, AT DUSK
  

  This storied "12-liter" race is a pillar of DCYC's fall regatta, and for good reason. No other event at the club draws participants from this wide a swath of our membership. From the very young all the way up to Old Man Dave, everyone has a shot at 12-liter glory at the legendary Al Schlitz regatta.
  

  It's time to start building those boats, sailors. Get your crew together to see how you fare in the really small water. Better yet, make this a family project and show up ready to bring home the gold and bragging rights for year. You can find the rules for this thrilling event here.

  No registration is required; just show up at dusk with your finely crafted 12-liter sailboat and be ready for a great time.
  

  Once again, we are honored to have Randall Massey serving as emcee and judge of this event.
  

  For a little background on origins of this great tradition, click here.
  

  We look forward to seeing you at the pool with your 12-liter boat!
