I've got a question regarding how teams split the cost and the prize money. Do you split evenly amongst all of the members or does the head cook foot all the bill and keep all the prize money?
Also, for those teams who have teamed up for a competition, does each team cover the costs for the meats they are cooking and how do you split the winnings? For those of you who have done this, does it work well?
Just wanted to get some ideas. I want to expand the number of contests we enter and right now I foot the bill for the team, but I keep the winnings. Since I don't expect to win, this limits the number of contests we enter.
Last year I paid all the fees and asked someone to join the team to cook our ribs. When ribs finished in the money, it felt a little awkward about how we were going to split the winnings. I kept the money and with the money we won with our pork entry (I cooked it :biggrin, I almost recovered my entry fee and meat costs. Want to avoid that awkward situation in the future and set up the ground rules before we get there.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
