ahhhh.... that's much better....I sure didn't want to see any teams slammed on this thread!

All I AM sure of is.....if I go running in there with my Western North Carolina BBQ sauces.....the judges will make sure the five I listed will win....or others.

Region 4. Or Clone out of region 2. He is his own region...

Region 4 may have the top five.

715 I'll take it.. love the underdog mojo!!! safe travels everyone..

Looking at the rankings again and sorting according to National BBQ Rankings, the list changes some.

One thing I am positive of is that the judges at this upcoming cook will be accustomed to Midwest flavor profiles which automatically puts southern and northern teams to a huge disadvantage unless a team has a universally loved sauce or can adapt.

Thanks to Dawgphan for pointing out a huge error I made on an earlier post of this.

I think that you are probably just looking at the top 200. If you scroll to the bottom of the rankings page, you can display all the teams and it will show everyone. I am sure a lot of those teams are ranked.

anyway, thanks for doing that. I am sure it was a lot of work, and really interesting.

I wonder what the average difference is and who has the biggest difference. I am guessing Swamp Boys or a team like that.

now you put the jinx on us...but thanks for the vote of confidence!!:wink:

I am surprised at the lack of predictions here! This reminds me of last years "Fantasy League" which started out with a bang then fizzled faster than Cam Newton.

We're going to find out soon!

I KNOW Sizzlin' Bones is gonna give it one hell of a shot!! Even if we come in dead last.... it is an honor to cook with that those teams, real honor! We NEVER expected to get this far, if it wasn't for Butcher declining his spot at the St. Charles Regionals, we wouldn't have, thanks David.
Now wish this.... peon, redneck, homemade bbq pit cookin', Okie from Muskogee team, some LUCK... we need it!!!

Happy BBQ'n

Sizzlin' Bones BBQ - Team Gopher

See everyone down in Bentonville! Should be fun!

I wish my team was as good as BBQ Race has me but they have contests that are not mine listed for me from some team from the SE. Then the National BBQ Rankings don't show all the contests I have done including my 1st GC last month. Don't get me wrong I like both the websites and it must be a nightmare to keep up but wow that is off quite a bit!

Send us an email and let us know what is wrong. The biggest problem is that so many teams have so many variations of how their names are spelled that we are having to clean up a lot of this mess. This may have caused us to merge to teams together that shouldn't have been merged.

See everyone in Bentonville this weekend.

Has anyone ever thought of assigning a team a Team Number for purposes of registration and competing? The team could still use their name at the event but scoring would be posted and tracked by Team Number.
