Results from Leesport

Sixteen teams showed up to compete at the Berk's BBQ Bash in Leesport, Friday and yesterday. Tom and Red ran their usual well-organized contest. The location was beautiful. The only problem (of which I was aware) was that someone's laptop self-destructed, which meant that someone else had to run to a nearby Staples to process the results of the judging. Personally, I put the time waiting for the delayed awards ceremony to good use stuffing my face with some really good Italian ices. The raw data of the scores was not provided, and the formatting was not what I'm used to, so rather than figure it out (lazy; shoot me), I include below only the overall scores and the place listings in the four categories. Brethren teams are highlighted if I could find the name in the list of teams.

I edited the rankings to high light Lo-n-Slo. The mango ice was real good, but my favorite was the strawberry-kiwi. I thought the lemon was a bit too tart. None of it seemed to help much in my efforts to maintain my slim, girlish figure.

...Interesting how close and relatively low the overall scores were.

Midnight Smokers are on a roll... They took GC at BBQ on the Farm a few weeks ago. I cooked next to Paul at that contest and he made it look like he was barely working..

Edited to highlight Widespread Pork, since I see that Jon has added his team to the roster. Congratulations, Jon, on taking Reserve! (By two ten-thousandths of a point, you miserable....:wink

Paul was cooking alone this weekend. He does make it look easy.

I noticed the odd spread on the scores, too. Luck of the draw? Lots of teams in NJ? Who knows.
