To the best of my knowledge, KCBS does not have any rules covering this. Going a step further, I don't know that KCBS should adopt any. I think this issue currently rests with event organizers, and it should probably remain that way.
My thoughts exactly, but....(IN GENERAL)
When the organizer has a BackYard event, the sanctioning body normally Rep's and scores it.
Most of the time, the judges are CBJs assuming enough are available. If not, the reps hold a quicky course so the judges at least know how to fill out a score card.
The BackYard teams go to the same cook's meeting as the Pros and normally have to follow the same rules as the Pros. The Reps hand out the boxes and accept them for scoring which is done with the sanctioning bodies software.
Results are announced at the same awards ceremony and the BackYard teams get the same printouts.
The only normal difference is that the BackYard teams may cook less catagories, but not always.
With all this in mind, the sanctioning body is in the middle of this.
The teams do not understand that the organizer sets the guidlines and will blame the sanctioning body when things go wrong.
Maybe the sanctioning bodies need to divorce themselves totally and let the organizer handle all the logistics, judging, scoring, rules, etc.
Right now, there is mixed credit and liablilty which may not be a good thing.
Just some thoughts.
