The test

You are the judge.

Ticket buyers are the judges. You take the test at any of ten sponsor branded testing stations across the building, each served by a house dabtender. One display case, one spot on the floor, every entry behind glass, numbered and lit. It is the only place you will ever see them. Every station serves every entry from sealed jars you never see. Blindfold on. The dabtender serves the dab. Blindfold off, you score it on your card. What you saw in the case and what you tasted in the dark is all you get. No labels. No brands.

Your scorecard lives on your phone, unlocked by the judge code on your ticket. A line for every strain: your notes, a flavor score from 1 to 10, and one box. Then you make the call that has beaten every judge since 2019: live resin or live rosin.

Cards close at 6, the key is unsealed on stage and the room finds out together. Ten stations minimum, spread through the building, so the line is never the event.

Pick a station

Ten branded testing stations across the building, each run by a sponsor and each stocked with every entry in sealed jars. Nothing to look at. Step up to any open one, call a number, put the blindfold on, take the dab. Work the board at your own pace all day.

Every entry at every station

Make the call

Notes on the strain. A flavor score from 1 to 10, where 10 is the best dab you have ever had and 1 is absolute trash. Then one box: live resin or live rosin. Every strain, every call, one card.

Your scorecard is the whole test

Pass it

Every resin or rosin box on your card checked right passes the test. One miss and the streak lives on. Best card of the day still takes Top Palate.

Undefeated since 2019
