Mark asked about how to categorize hot sauces for judging. I'm certainly
no judge, so the best I can do is to pass along how it is done in the
Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Contest, the 8th annual version of which was
held a month ago.
 
Individual category: Red sauce, green sauce, special variety.
 
Restaurant category: Red sauce, green sauce, special variety.
 
People's Choice Awards: Commercial bottlers: Red sauce, green sauce,
   special variety, pepper sauce.
 
Among the judges were Bruce Auden, Robb Walsh, and Stephan Pyles.
