Pie contest and bake-off scorecard

Make a blind scorecard for a pie contest, cookie bake-off or chili cook-off. Guests rate numbered entries on their own phones and everyone sees the ranking when you close voting.

  • Free
  • No app or account for guests
  • Takes about a minute to set up

Entry names are shown to guests only after you close voting. Do not enter anyone's full name or other personal details.

Start from an example

Each one fills in a title and shows sample entries. You can change both.

How it works

  1. Create the scorecard. You get a host page with a link for guests and a private host link.
  2. Print the table card (it has a QR code for the guest link) or send the link to the group chat.
  3. Guests rate the numbered entries from 1 to 5. Ballots are anonymous.
  4. Close voting on the host page. The ranking with the entry names appears for anyone with the results link.

What the ranking looks like

Example with made-up numbers, not a real contest.

  2. #2 Aunt Lisa's pecan (Entry 1)4.2 / 5, 9 ratings
  3. #3 Sam's apple (Entry 2)3.8 / 5, 8 ratings

Good to know

  • No accounts and no tracking cookies. A browser can only tell it has voted if it remembers, so a determined guest can vote twice. For a party that is rarely a problem.
  • A contest holds up to 20 entries. Contests are deleted 30 days after you create them. You can delete one yourself from the host page at any time.
  • Keep the host link private. Anyone who has it can close or delete the contest.
