Knows what a fatty is.
This weekend I competed in my first competition. Overall it was a decent experience and I did ok for an amateur I think. However the event was kind of a cluster from the beginning with no one being told site locations to local police misdirecting traffic. The biggest problem was that it being a KCBS sanctioned event and having both pro and amateur divisions they did not let us amateur teams know we were to only cook ribs and chicken per KCBS rules. They knew for over a month and didn't change any of the paperwork or give notice that instead of four meats like the the application indicated we should only do the two. So when we get ther the KCBS rep says the organizers are just putting the amateur teams in the pro comp with no extra fee. To me this was unfair to both divisions of cookers and seems really poorly done. Anyone else have an experience like this? Are all contests really disorganized?
Ps I am grateful to have been able to compete in all 4 meats and see how I compared to more experienced and wonderful cooks.
