WFC has MOVED our championship dates by ONE WEEK. We are now going to kick off our 2013 event on Nov 6 and produce our Final Table on Nov 10th.

We believe this is a very important change for numerous reasons. First, our weekend will no longer coincide or conflict with the other big events in Terlingua, TX, or Laughlin, NV. We understand (and want to support) the fact that many teams want to participate in those great events as well as ours. So we have worked hard to make the necessary arrangements for our event to be moved by one week, and we hope our competitive friends will be supportive and happy about that development.

Ok so might as well do both if the opportunity arises, that makes the 2,000 mile trip a little more cost effective

Good job on co-operation between events.....

That was the announcement we were holding up on. Guess it's official now. We worked together with the WFC organizers in trying to find a solution that was best for everybody. They very generously offered to move their event date. Our goal now is to have all the WFC competitors come to the USA Barbecue Championship for the big money and 2014 Silverado Twin Cab Pickup and one last practice round before shuffling down to Vegas the next week. Let the flames begin.

Ya, but I am not sure they want to have the contest at a bowling alley or Chinese restaurant.

(Washington will give ANYONE a casino license...lol)

No, Chris, in the NorthWet, all the casinos are on reservations. All manner of special rules apply.

I lived in Seattle for year. There are (were?) about 150 casinos in WA, and about 20 are Native American. You can't turn around without hitting a casino. Eighteen in Seattle, 3 in tiny (pop 20,000) Mountlake Terrace, where I worked.

My examples sound fake, but they aren't. The Great Wall in Tacoma was a Chinese Restaurant that turned themselves into a restaurant with gaming tables. Paradise Bowl and Casino in Tacoma was a bowling ally with 10 different table games and live poker.

The Great Wall folded, and Paradise has gone back to only bowling, but WA was handing out licenses to everyone. They made gambling online a felony to protect all these small businesses. Many should never have been in the casino business, and eventually folded, but many still operate.
