2010 Rookie year teams!

I got this idea from the CBBQA site, to check and see how many rookie teams there are for 2010. Rookie team is a team with a head cook that has not been a head cook before for any team, even if different than your current team name.

So, let's start a list shall we? Post your team name, and website if you have one.

I'll start with mine. Until about a week ago, I was just a backyard pitmaster. I've since paid my association dues and am having my first comp (informal) in April.

Mod Note: I think Forrest had a very good idea! We've discussed it and I am going to make this a sticky at the top of the forum so it stays up top. Please add your team information below. if you haven't already added your team to the Listing of Brethren Member Team Names, please do that as well! that is really the master team list. This one is a fun list for rookies (again, no hard definition, it is for fun).

Also, as you compete and start to get calls (let's define that as top 10 in any KCBS category or overall) post aht and I'll add that to the list under your team name. At the end of the year we'll archive this list and start a new one for 2011!

In order to keep the thread clean after I add you to the list i will mark your post as done and then delete the ones that I have done after a day or so. also, please try to keep the discussion to a minimum since those posts will also be deleted as I add names to the list. As the season goes on there will be Roll Call and discussion threads opened for most competitions so you can talk about plans to meet, etc. in those threads. Also, for this list i am going to just show the team name and the Brethren Member name of whoever requests the listing. If yu want more info like location and web site please include that info in your list in the main team name thread.

Oh yeah! Good luck to all of you!

Big Daddy's Bama BBQ - Huntsville, AL (Big Daddy C)

First KCBS Competition will be Whistle Stop Festival in Huntsville, AL - April 30-May1.

Done!

Team name is "Great Pig in the Sky" and it looks like my first comp won't be until late August at the Edwardsville BBQ Challenge. Will be judging several comps until then though.

If anyone's looking for some free help at competitions located around southern Illinois, please let me know. Hoping to do a little apprenticing this summer as well.
