How the Competition Works: Event Format
It’s a 3-round face-off with each round having a different format, and 2 chief judges who will decide your fate. There are 6 stations, with each station pairing a team from BBA against a team from BIT. It’s a blackbox challenge, meaning teams won’t know what ingredients they’ll get until the round begins.
In round 1, the teams at each station go head-to-head, eliminating one team per station. Round 2 introduces an unusual ingredient that every remaining team has to work into their dish. Round 3 is the most interesting, and the round to show creativity: a no-blackbox pantry round where teams prepare their signature dish while presenting the concept and story behind it. The sequence of the event runs like this:
- Registration of participants
- Welcome speech
- Introduction of rules and judging criteria
- Selection of ingredients
- Cooking session begins
- Judges evaluate the dishes
- Announcement of results
- Prize distribution
- Vote of thanks
- Closing of the event
It’s expected to be an 8-hour event if everything goes according to the prepared time schedule.
