The Official League Of Fire World Rankings

The LOF have consulted with different chilli-heads who have undertaken multiple challenges that range from fresh pods to chocolate bars to peanuts… And consequently generated a points system to determine our overall world ranking system.

Points are offered as rewards for different challenges of different levels of difficulty. Although the toughness of the challenge is always at the forefront of one’s mind, there are other considerations that are important, such as the amount of effort the chilli-head has had to endeavour (e.g. travelling around for miles to attend events) and the subsequent level of support that challenge has generated for the chilli community (e.g. challenges at festivals mean greater support for the community than a challenge that is undertaken in the comfort of a home with a camera).

We hope this offers a definitive guide to who the world recognises as the best of the best chilli heads on the planet!
