Any one cooking the National Championship cookoff in Meridian, TX this October? We evidently qualified for it:thumb:, so we are gonna head down there and cook. Don't know much about it. Anyone ever cooked it before?
I have heard some unfavorable things about the sanctioning body, Lone Star, with regards to fairness. The story goes that if a certain person is the head judge, a certain team is always the winner.
Before committing any time or money to this contest, perhaps it would be wise to have a few thorough discussions with folks who have cooked that sanctioning body's contests.

We'll be there. This will be our 3rd year cookin' it. It's one of my favorite contests. I know the team that's won GC the last 2 years, and she cooks primarily IBCA. I've seen nothing to indicate any unfairness in the judging. You still have to have the ticket when they tear it off the box at awards. See ya there!
This is nonsense and is another rumor created by some guy who couldn't win a contest. Sour grapes by a cooker won't contribute his time to judge a contest. I know The person you are referring to. He is a dam good cook and that is why he wins. He can be beat but you better have your game on. I'm getting tired of the conspiracy theories and I hear them from every corner and about every org.
ALLRIGHT!! Finally get to meet ya haha.. Will be a grand time Im sure.. Ill have to do a little studying here and there for school... Oh wait, who am I kidding.. Ill be drinking my ACE off lol. :heh:
We will be there. Anyone been before, how are the grounds?
It's a big field in a bend of the Bosque River. If it rains, it will be muddy. Weather is calling for a 30-40% chance of isolated thunderstorms Fri-Sat-Sun.
