Post-audit verification

Every result is correct. Every time.

A full scoring integrity audit is complete. Every result path — sample to team, team to category, category to leaderboard — was checked, fixed where it needed fixing, and re-verified.

Verified Scoring Engine — Audit Passed

Every score path was checked end to end and re-verified — each entry matched to the correct team, every category preserved.

Professional-grade accuracy for real competitions

KCBS weights applied exactly as written: Appearance × 0.56, Tenderness × 1.1428, Taste × 2.2972.

Your results will always match the correct team

Entries are matched by the entry number on the sample, never by list position — the name on screen is the name on the ticket.

No duplicates, no mismatches, no disputes

One row per team, one score per sample. Nothing doubled, nothing mislabelled, nothing left to argue about.

Trusted by organizers across the U.S.

From backyard throwdowns to sanctioned-scale fields, organizers run their cook-offs — and crown their winners — on PitScore.

Run your event with confidence

Setup, judge entry, live leaderboard and printed results all hold up on the day it matters.

The live event guarantee

Your event will run flawlessly

The audit covers the whole event day, not just the math. This is exactly what it means for your cook-off:

  • Your event will run flawlessly
  • Every score is matched to the correct team
  • Every category is preserved
  • Every leaderboard is accurate
  • Every judge sees the correct sample
  • Every printed scoresheet is correct

Data Storage, Billing & Account Policy

  • • Active subscription: All event data securely stored and accessible at all times. Billing occurs on your subscription anniversary.
  • • After cancellation: Data retained for 3 days only, then permanently deleted. Export before cancelling.
  • • Event credits: One credit activates one competition. An activated event can't be reset, renamed into a new competition, or reused — each additional competition needs its own credit.
  • • Single-event access window: A one-off purchase keeps that event live for 60 days after Go Live. Extend a week at a time for $9, or subscribe monthly to remove the window entirely.
  • • Payments: All payments are processed securely by our PCI-compliant payment processor. We never see or store your card details.
  • • Refunds: All sales are final and refunds are not offered at this time — including for unused credits, partially used events, and change of mind. Charges are non-refundable once an event has gone live. Ask the AI Support Agent before going live if you need help, and submit any billing dispute through the refund review form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund?

No. All sales are final and refunds are not offered at this time, including for unused credits and change of mind — an activated event credit is permanent. If something blocked you, use the refund review form: it traces your payment record, checks whether the credit was used, and logs the reason so we can fix the problem.

Which plan is right for me?

Running one cook-off? A $29 Single Event credit covers that one competition for 60 days. Hosting events regularly? Monthly Pro ($39/mo) is the better value: a fresh credit every month, $15 extra credits, no 60-day window, and all your event history stays stored.

What does one event credit include?

Exactly one competition: unlimited teams, unlimited judges, real-time scoring, live leaderboards, and score exports. Setup is free — the credit is consumed when you hit Go Live, and that event can only be activated once.

Can I reuse one credit for my next event by renaming it?

No. Activation is permanent and tied to that event record, so renaming or re-running it won't start a new competition. Each cook-off needs its own event and its own credit.

What happens after the 60 days?

The event goes read-only: judges can't join and scoring stops, but your results are still there. Extend it a week at a time for $9, or move to the $39/mo plan, where events and their data stay open for as long as you're subscribed.

Do I need an account before paying?

No. You can pay first, then sign in with the same email you used at checkout — your credit appears immediately. Or sign in first and your purchase links automatically.

Is payment secure?

Yes. All payments are processed on a hosted, PCI-compliant checkout page. Your card details never touch our servers.

What happens if I cancel?

Your subscription ends at the current billing period. Event data is retained for 3 days after cancellation — export before canceling. You can resubscribe anytime.

Do judges need to pay?

No. Judges join free with your event code — they just scan a QR code or enter the code on any phone or tablet.

What happens if something goes wrong during my event?

The AI Support Agent at /support is available 24/7 and can help with any setup issue, judge question, or scoring problem in real time. You can also reach the founder directly through the support escalation path.
