So, are you? This is the time of year when folks begin to turn their attention to the fall invitationals. Makes sense. We all need to plan. The American Royal invites went out on Monday. August is the last chance to qualify for the Jack Daniel's World Invitational draw. In fact, there are about 35 events left this month and assuming they meet the qualifying criteria, they will count towards the draw. Just for fun, here's a COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL look at how the draw is shaking out thus far:

UPDATE: So, now I've included the IBCA qualifiers thanks to Lynn Shivers and Michelle Wade. Sometimes I need two mothers. Sometimes more. That changed things a bit. A few teams came off the "Automatics" list and at least one went on. It did change things a bit.

Several disclaimers: This list now only tracks qualifiers for KCBS and IBCA events. Information on MIM, MBN and FBA is not included. That's why there are question marks after Swamp Boys. Rub was congratulated for winning seven some time back on the forum, but it obviously included FBA events. Additonally, this list doesn't account for home state winners, teams in states where no other team from the state won a qualifying event regardless of location. Well, it does include Parrothead and Tee Wayne's Cajun Cookin'. Parrothead waltzs into the Jack every year this way. We're considering a move to South Dakota. Here's what I do know, if I really wanted into the Jack, I'd be headed to Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania or Utah this month.

This is worth saying one more time - This list was composed just for fun and without the help of any of the sanctioning bodies. I just thought you all might enjoy a look at where the draw is headed next month. I can't believe the response this list has generated. It was a fun project and several of you pointed out corrections that I've made. Now get out there and qualify for the Jack!

Why are you posting this Sled, you're already in? :mrgreen: LOL! Congrats man! Hopefully we'll see you there!

Thanks to Rod for putting this together!

It's fun just to see our name on the list:lol:

I heard the draw would be on Sept 3rd around 1pm...anyone know if that is accurate?

IS there any way to hear or see the draw. Other than being at it?

Hang on the internet and wait. It ends up being a pretty big day in competition BBQ!

Just what leaks out on the boards.

I know that it can get kind of in depth and confusing but how does it work with the "home" state thing? If a team with a GC is the only one from their state to win do they get a automatic draw?

For example if Smoke on Wheels wins New Paltz does Smoke in Da Eye get the NY draw as the only team from NY in the NY draw?

Do both the home and foreign teams get an invite if the foreign team gets the draw?

Also if you have an automatic bid, you are no longer in the draw are you? ie., Lakeside Smokers is no longer in the NY draw due to their automatic bid (I assume that is for winning NH?)

man this is such a fun time of year, how fun is it going to be talking about this @ the potluck this weekend @ New Paltz!

SIDE should be an automatic since he is the only NY home state team in the draw. EDIT: I think they draw the NY state and then declare him in if he didn't get the state draw. So, he's automatic (I think), but could still get the NY State draw. The Home state is kind of a fall back. This happened to Missouri last year. No MO teams were drawn, so they chose a home state team. Automatics, like Sled, don't count for home state teams, so Sled wouldn't prohibit SIDE from getting NY Home State.

Since Lakeside is automatic, they are out of the draw for any other state. You can't get drawn twice.

thanks Todd

i need a bag of popcorn and a lawn chair for this one. :cool:

That is what I heard the other day on another forum, but it is not 100%.

Just a note on NY - NY State automatic based on residency is not finalized yet... HV Ribfest is this weekend and potential for another NY team to win..

Even with two draws in Kansas, it is still a long shot to get to the Jack. However, just like last year, it is exciting just to be part of the day. To know that is COULD happen is better than knowing that it COULDN'T.

it's the last one right? what's the cutoff date for this year's draw?

Yes, end of August is the cutoff.
