And I've just had another entrant, meaning....
5 entries so far! It's definitely getting there, slowly but surely.
And damnit Faris you will enter if all you serve up is biscuits with tea!
I have one thing to say to this.
(SPOILER)
I've been busy storing away your sign-up mognets guys and while we still have Friday, Saturday and Sunday to go, we now have...
6 entries! Fantastic. This was actually my minimum number that I was hoping for, so thank you guys for taking in such an interest! I know there's more out there, waiting to cook out there, so don't be shy and sign-up!
I dunno if I am going to. If I do, part of me wants to take advantage of working in a fine dining kitchen. The other part of me wants to make something my mom makes.
The good thing about the competition is that there's room for both traditional, earthy rustic food, and more haute cuisine that requires real complex skill to create. Both 'types' of food is credible for the contest.
It doesn't have to be that time consuming either! If you decide you want to or have any further questions, then PM me!

Okay so if we do this then we have to cook it, then give you the directions, then you guys cook it?
You make the dish, take a pic, send in recipe/ingredients list and the pic, and then the judges make it at home and, well, judge it.
Great news this day with a massive surge in numbers. As of now, we have...
8 entries! Superb! As it stands now, there will be two heats, followed by a final round. This is due to the judges having to cook ALL OF THESE dishes, you see, so by splitting them up, the judges have time to have their bank balance restore itself and not be stressed cooking all of these dishes! So, let's assume that we have 8 entries (could be more still!)
Heat A
?????? - Qualify
?????? - Qualify
??????
??????
Heat B
?????? - Qualify
?????? - Qualify
??????
??????
Final
?????? - Master of the Fork
?????? - 2nd
?????? - 3rd
?????? - 4th
Bear in mind those ????? will turn into fun codenames. I've yet to sort that out yet, but each contestant will have a FF themed codename to differentiate themselves!
Moogle
Moomba
Cactuar
Tonberry
PuPu
Chocobo
...
I'm drawing blanks for two more!
Or you could just do summons.
I like the summons idea.
Or Quina's blue magic:
Angel's Snack
Frog Drop
Mustard Bomb
Pumpkin Head
Mighty Breath
White Wind
Magic Hammer
Mighty Guard
If there were three more with some kind of foody theme it would be perfect.
Omigosh yes, do summons.
Shiva
Ifrit
Ramuh
Bahamut
Leviathan
Carbuncle
Alexander
Odin
My my, plenty of Friday entries! Perhaps it's the fact that it's Friday and everyone's happier, perhaps that's why their signing up now! But...
9 entries!
Right, there's been a few changes now that there's been a really large turnout (and a thank you to all who did!) and so the competition format has changed. Originally, it was going to be a straight contest, but given the numbers, the judges will have their work cut out cooking all of these recipes in such a short time. I've collaborated with the judges, and together we've come up with a competition schedule that should work for everyone. Great!
Oh, and also... 10 entries! And an old EoFF friend who I have on Facebook wants to participate as well, so that knocks it up to 11! This explains why the format has changed.
So what's changed then?
In terms of players, not a great deal. You still have between the 29th - 5th to cook your first dish! That part doesn't change. Unless I've given you permission to cook earlier than that date (due to time constraints, etc) then you begin cooking and photographing on the 29th.
I'll send everyone participating a PM to confirm this, and to start cooking! You all still have to send me a PM and stuff with photo, recipe and list, but I'm repeating myself now and the opening post has all the details you could possibly ever need. Ever.
What does change though is afterwards. We have many players and so the judges have to cook in excess of 11 dishes (maybe more if I get late entries either Saturday or Sunday) and so to help them cook all of these dishes, they have 3 weeks to cook all of them. If they need anymore time, to be honest that could be extended further. But the judges will do their best to cook all 11+ dishes in 3 weeks.
In terms of dates, the judging phase is May 6th - May 26th!
I was getting to that! Sheesh. After the first judging phase, the scores will be tallied up and the top half of the players will enter into the final! This is all based on the overall number of entries: as it stands, there's 11 entries so 5 of you will go through, if there's 12, then it will bump up to 6 and will most likely remain at 6 after that regardless of whether there's 12 or 120 entries.
For the most part, don't worry too much about that, it's my job as host to get the scores and whatnot and tell you all what's up. However, don't slack off though! You still need to put in a good performance to get through, and also...
...in the final, you will have to cook again! This time, there's a theme involved, so your dishes all have to be of a similar type. The theme will be revealed at the end of the judging phase in May 26th. I know what the theme is, but that's my little secret until then!
On May 27th, the scores of the eliminated contestants will be revealed, and the finalists will also be named. That's their cue to start cooking their final dish, based on the theme. You all have exactly a week, just like the first cooking phase. You have from May 27th - June 2nd to cook your final dish.
The judges will then have time to judge just 5 or 6 dishes, and after the final score is revealed to me by the last judge, that phase will end.
Not just yet! I mentioned earlier that your first dish will have to be stellar. This is to get you through to the final yes, but also, your qualifying dish and your final dish will be tallied together!
Essentially, it's:
Qualifying Score + Final Score = Overall TotalThe final ranking will be based on your overall score, so it's important to get both your qualifier and final dish to be as best as you can!
And that's all the changes done. If you have ANY questions with anything, then don't hesitate to PM me. Besides this post, I will also update the opening post as well to reflect the changes. Thanks guys for your patience!
