They are probably using rules that are deemed to be (by KCBS) too similar to the KCBS rules.
They've sent out a number of cease and desist letters in the past.

That's great news -- I really enjoyed it this year, and look forward to competing next year. Hopefully they make better accommodations for the New England teams!

The agenda seems a little light to me 
It would be nice to know a little more about some of these issues. I just signed up to listen for the first time. Should be fun!

What a great way to promote international goodwill:crazy: This board can't be gone soon enough.
You can send them all the C&D letters you want, good luck going further.

Yes, but it's am empty threat. That said, it might still be in the best interest of the British barbecue society to be tied into KCBS anyway.

Nothing like promoting BBQ with Cease and Desist. Seems to me these Cease and desist letters are in direct contradiction of their published charter.
unless of course you pay them for it.........then its ok.
Sorry.. just my view of the bridge..YMMV.

Intellectual property is really strange stuff legally - it makes you do things you wouldn't ordinarily consider. For example, if five years from now another organization were to crop up in the USA using the KCBS scoring system, part of their legal defense could be to show that others used the proprietary material in the past and since KCBS failed to enforce their rights that they forfeited them.
Because of this, owners of copyrights, trademarks, etc. usually retain attorneys who specialize in this area, and send out lots of C&D letters basically as a CYA measure. At least that's how I understand it, anyway. I'm not a lawyer, so standard disclaimer applies.

somebody shut me the fark up.
Rule number two is the old "one team cooking two contests on one day" rule. I have no idea who it was. I imagine that will be closed session? Maybe not. I have requested to listen in as well. I wonder if they've gathered that the membership is not happy with the way they've made decisions on the international initiative and are going to reconsider? One would like to think they've listened!
