Updated Rules
━━━━
Each year we make necessary updates to the Rules and Regulations of Competition. Be sure to familiarize yourself with this year's updates to eliminate the chance of your National Champion being disqualified.
If a National Champion wins by using a recipe which does not comply with the Rules and Regulations of Competition, they will lose their eligibility to compete in the World Final.
