Working Flair Rules Printable Version

WORKING FLAIR ROUND: (300 points total):

FINALS DAY ONLY

• The working flair round will use the Flairco Portable Bar.
   
• Each PRO competitor will get three (3) minutes to make five (5) drinks.
   
• Each ADVANCED competitor will get three (3) minutes to make four (4) drinks.
   
• These drinks will come from the Master Drink List and will be called out to the competitor just prior to starting their round (like an actual order at the bar). The drinks will not be placed on a check stand or presented to the competitor, but if a competitor forgets a drink they can ask for it to be repeated at any time within the round.
   
• Every competitor will have the same drinks and bottles that are set at the same levels.
   
• Competitors will be sequestered to a separate room so as they can't hear the drinks called, and will be called in prior to their round starting.
   
• All competitors will be given 2 minutes to set up their tins, bar utensils, juices, and rearrange their wells as they like. Competitors may NOT rearrange the glassware, fruit, straws, or back bar bottles.
   
• The bars will be set up with the speed round back bar display. The back bar bottles will be on a riser just as they are in the speed round. The blender will be removed from the bar as there will be NO FROZEN in the working flair round. The Tall Wine Glass that is used for the Frozen, will be replaced with Martini Glasses.

• The competitors must replace the bottles back to the well and back bar display riser. They do not need to be put back in the exact same places, but if they come out of the well they must be returned to the well and if they come from the back bar display riser they must be replaced to the back bar display riser. Each bottle not replaced to its proper area will result in a penalty. - see below.
   
• All drinks must be placed on the bar top when time is called. Each drink not placed on the bar top will result in a penalty. - see below.
