What does a state championship proclaimation actually mean? Does it mean that the winner of a state championship is that state's BBQ champion until the next state championship? Does the winner of the most state championships for a given state get something at the end of the year? I'm just trying to figure out what it does for a comp at the state level.
Similarly, what does it take to get a proclaimation? Is it just contacting the gov's office and asking for him to sign a piece of paper? Does any thought or decision go into it, or is it just whether or not the gov has time?
And finally, why does it matter to The Jack and The Royal? I'm not asking to complain, but just to understand. If (and this is still an if) the proclaimation doesn't mean anything to the team or the state, and if (again only an if) all it takes to get one is the time of the sitting govenor, why restrict invitees to smaller (<50 teams) comps that have one? Why not say if you have >= 25 teams, the winner gets the invite (or bung)? What do BF and the AR think (or know) that having that proclaimation gives that GC?
Thanks,
