Backyard comps

Pigs, I'll assume you're referring to the KCBS all 4 meats. I think a large portion of
teams do a non-sanctioned comp (ala. back yard) or two to start. For me, we dont
any longer because the judging is willy-nilly and categories change at the last
minute, etc. It's not worth it (for us). We now only compete in sanctioned cookoffs,
and rarely a KCBS event because I really dont care for chicken nor the 30 minute
turn-in windows nor the greenery. I'll stick with FBA, GBA, and my preference but
expensive MBN. So, to your direct question, the answer is no, we wouldn't compete
more in backyard comps if they cooked all four meats.

We are a brand new team and have only done 1 backyard and 1 KCBS comp. We would do more backyard events if they did the 4 KCBS meats and ran it like a KCBS comp. It would be really good practice for us green teams before jumping in with the seasoned big boys.
