The 2007 Jack Daniels Invitational - Page 3

The formula is kind of complicated. Let's use NY this year as an example.

The qualifiers were Oinktoberfest, Lake Placid, New Paltz. Lunchmeat won Vermont, which is the only VT qualifier and is an automatic, so they were in the Jack and out of the NY draw. iQue won New Paltz, but were already an automatic because they won Lime Rock in CT, and the other CT qualifier was won by I Smell Smoke, who were automatically in the Jack from winning the Lowell or Maine, which were automatics too.

So, based on that, Purple Turtle was automatically in the Jack for winning Lake Placid.

Make sense? Haha...as you can see, it can get confusing....

If a state only has one qualifier it also needs the 15.

If their are more than one qulaifying team from a state, they draw from all those that one in the state and then the remaining teams go into the larger "wild card" draw.

Exemptions and automatic invites are those that have won 7 qualifiers in a years time and those that have been invited to the Jack 9 consecutive years and win a qualifier for a tenth year. Don't know about previouse years winners.

As well as the Royal Open winner, the Houston winner (can't remember the name of that contest), and the previous year's Jack winner. I think I got that all right.

It sounds as though all the non winners from any State (except those that qualified in a one contest only State see the above post) go into the "wild Card" for a second chance. Sounds like only one wild card is drawn however. So you may get two chosen from one state . . . the actual state winner and the wild card. This is of course excluding the Huston Life Stock Show, the Royal, last years Jack winners ect.

Do both the Royal open and Invitational winner get an invite or just the Open?

That's right. Once all the automatics are locked in and the states are drawn, everyone who did not make it goes into the hat for one final, single wild card drawing. Keep in mind that there are a lot of teams in that pile, as some states such as Missouri have more than 30 state championships.

Yes but i wasn't goingto openly laugh. I guess the Jack Invitational finds it wrong to invite the Royal Invitational winner.

Any word on who won the Jack grilling event yesterday (and who was picked for it)?

Ironic - yes
Funny - well, I chuckled

In honor of those at the Jack, I woke up at 5:00. But just moved from the couch to bed. American Eats, The History of BBQ just started on the History channel as I type this.
