This is a sincere and honest question as it pertains to the state of Hawaii regarding a Jack draw. There will be no representative from the state of Hawaii this year, to my knowledge.
For the record, I am going to be f5ing all day hoping to see what friends of ours have made the Jack draw. I seriously have no dog in this fight.....honestly!! I guess I'm just sticking up for the USA's 50th state.
Hawaii teams have a one shot deal at gaining a Jack draw. Hawaii has an auto draw for the 15 team, 3rd year event, IBCA Hilo Bay Cook Off. This year it was won by a TX team.
I know, as most comp teams know, that a 15 team competition, 3rd year event is not a Jack draw. My understanding, and I may be very wrong, is that a 10 team sanctioned event in Hawaii is a Jack draw. This was told to me by the organizer and based on the 2012 Hilo Bay event.
So the real question is, as it pertains to Hawaii, what should allow a Hawaii team to represent their home state? Cook better, yes I agree. But with nothing to gauge competition cooking besides one sanctioned event, what is the answer?
Honestly, this is not sour grapes...just want some info and discussion.
