TOTY--- other bodies than KCBS
I have followed the debate about KCBS TOTY rules.
I do not "have a dog in that fight", so will keep my opinion to myself. I am really curious as to the TOTY programs by the other sanctioning bodies outside of KCBS, and what the teams think of them. The FBA has a TOTY program that is constantly evolving and works great for us. From the FBA website: http://www.flbbq.org/toty.htm 2009 Team of the Year Rules
For this year, we want to finish higher. Simple---We must cook more events and we must place higher if we want to move up in the rankings. To make that happen, I sucked it up and drove 1000 miles round trip to compete at Okeechobee, just to get an event on the record and to get our year started. Worked out well. The FBA region encoupances FL, GA, and Al and is huge. Most serious teams make the investment to travel many, many miles to compete. We plan on cooking 12 to 15 FBA events this year to reach our goal. Gonna be time consuming and expensive, but hopefully worth it. TIM

Glad to hear you are going to cook a lot of FBA contests this year Tim! :)
As you stated, we are always thinking about small tweaks to improve the system each year. I believe that an obvious yet often overlooked factor in determining the criteria for TOTY is the simple fact that some organizations don't clearly define what the TOTY winner is supposed to exemplify. In the FBA we have defined what our TOTY is. I often wonder when I read the discussions about the KCBS TOTY system, and changes that people propose, exactly who the people think the TOTY should be? Because apparently they feel the system is flawed or they wouldn't be suggesting change. Personally I don't see how anyone can dispute that Munchin Hogs @ the Hilton should be TOTY in KCBS.

CBBQA takes best five scores in each category and overall for your scores. Cooking more contests only means more scores to choose from.
Points are accumulated in the top half of the category only and are dependent on the number of teams at the contest. For example, if there are 20 teams competing, 1 = 20 points 2 = 19 points 3 = 18 points . . . 10 = 10 points 11-20 = 0 points So basically, if you do well at a big contest, you get more points.
