Smokin'Swine...most teams will stagger meats so they have fresh butts/slabs/loins for finals. If you don't make finals...you have lot's of left-overs.
Turn-in boxes are similar to FBA (no garnish) except a minimum of 6 pieces instead of 7. Full details can be found http://www.bbqga.org/contests/gba-rules/ |

If you are going to be in Perry, stop by Kudzu Q and say hello. We could offer up a little advice...though I dont know how helpful it will be.

We will be in Perry. This will be my 1st GBA event. I’m going to treat the box presentations like I would for an FBA event since there is no garnish. Are we on the right track? The preliminary/finals aspect seems interesting.

if you havent cooked GBA, but have cooked FBA...the boxes arent much different. the timing is a little different for GBA with the finals and at perry the brisket and chicken are going to make for a long and hectic day.

hope that we get decent weather. Last year the weather was great for this contest. I am sure it will be a good time either way. I think that last count was 35 or so teams...that a bad turn out. i am sure they will add a couple more in the next week. Last year there were more than 40 teams out there.

From a judges perspective, the pork and ribs are usually very good. We'll see both MBN style, KCBS style (sans garnish of course), FBA style (usually shredded meat lining the bottom), etc. We will see huge variations on the pork loin though. Always interesting to judge. Look out for team Holy Smokes (or is it Holy Smokers). Gary is on a roll lately. And Myron's son with Jack's New South has been very consistent in the top 3 or 4. Good luck all of y'all!!! If there is a *hint* to give out to the first timers; GBA was founded by and is largely judged by MBN folks. Plenty are certified in multiple sanctioning bodies (KCBS included). 100% CBJ's at all GBA competitions, just a high portion of them you'd also see at every MBN competition around here. The meat in ribs should pull cleanly from the bone with a little resistance (a little different than KCBS). Without garnish, the old addage "fill the box" holds true most of the time.
