SCA Ancillary Event Rules

Ancillary General Rules:

• Ancillaries may be cooked on any fire or heat source.
• Elements of the ancillary may be pre-cooked, but the turn in must be assembled onsite.
• Must use provided turn in box. Lid must be closed to turn in. No serving trays.
• Only one type of ancillary item per turn in box and same recipe. Sauces and condiments are allowed, and the judges are required to taste them if in the box. The scoring is a composite score of all items in the box. 
• All ancillary proteins are to be provided by the cooks unless stated on the event flyer.

"Creative" Ancillary Rules

• Creative Ancillary entries will be judged on Appearance, Creativity, Taste, and Execution.
• The order of tie breakers for Ancillaries is Taste, Creativity, Appearance, and Execution.
• Garnish is optional for "Creative Ancillary" boxes and not a part of the appearance score. Any garnish in the box must be edible. Boxes may contain small disposable cups, toothpicks, or skewers to hold food items together only. No glass allowed in box and no items will be returned to cooks. 
• All entries should be fully assembled for judging.
• For Burgers, cooks must turn in 2 burgers (1 whole and 1 cut into 4 pieces) NO SLIDERS.

Reasons for an Ancillary DQ:

• A marked box
• Entry turned in after the turn-in window has expired
• Not meeting the required number of pieces or portions.
• Any turn-in determined to be raw. (Ex: raw chicken or pork.)
• A foreign object found in the box (exemptions listed above.)
• Turn-in boxes turned upside down/sticker on top of box. Turn in boxes may not be turned upside down to allow items to fit better.
