Anyone around here besides us doing this one?

Greatgrills · 06-25-2006, 07:28 PM

We went to this contest last year and didn't care too much for it so we are skipping this year...Good luck and have a great time

Jeff_in_KC · 06-25-2006, 08:11 PM

Good info to know. What about it wasn't good, Mark? I want to know what to look out for!

Greatgrills · 06-25-2006, 08:20 PM

Nothing too awful bad. First year contest last year and was very unoriginzed(for us), spots were first come first served and just too long of a drive for us for the payouts. People that put it on were very friendly. Didnt have too many certified judges which might be changed this year. Not saying that it was an awful contest but it just is not for us.

Hmmm... interesting on the CBJ's. Might have to give a quick phone call up there and see what percentage are going to be CBJ's. Might cook backyard style if not many are! LOL! Thanks for the info!

Jeff_in_KC · 06-28-2006, 09:43 AM

Got the list of teams yesterday... they currently have 34 teams signed up with 3-4 more possible by Friday.

Also found out that the mix of judges is 50/50 certified and local. They have a couple coming up from Florida to judge. Not sure how to read the 50/50 mix. Any suggestions?

Doorbusters · 06-28-2006, 11:55 AM

I don't know how to read Jeff, but if you have a 12 pack of Bud in the cooler, I will come Friday to learn! Just kidding! Might try to make it up Friday for a while during the day.

Solidkick · 06-28-2006, 08:20 PM

Probably means 50% will start at 9 and judge down and the other 50% will start at 6 and be hard to move up past an 8........

Jeff_in_KC · 06-28-2006, 09:57 PM

Gary, would you adjust your cooking any at all for this mix of judges? I'm sure I've been judged that percentage before but didn't know it.

HoDeDo · 06-29-2006, 09:46 AM

I wouldnt mind judging out there if they had an opening... No cooking for me until Bellevue.

kcpellethead · 06-29-2006, 11:28 AM

Jeff,

Cook the same as you always do. As soon as you start making changes based on perceived judging make-up or other contest details, you'll never know why you were successful or otherwise. Let's face it, good food is good food, regardless of who is judging.

See you there!

Rod

Thanks Rod, you saved me from having to type out the same response!

Jeff_in_KC · 06-29-2006, 02:40 PM

Thanks guys! Makes sense.

Rod, didn't know you were cooking Cameron. Dang it, that'll push us a bit lower in the overall!

Andy, I placed a call to the guy running Cameron's contest and left a message asking if they need any judges. Are you a CBJ in case he asks? I don't know if I ever asked you that before.

UPDATE - Andy, Phil Lammers just called me back and said they are good on judges. They planned for 40 teams and don't have 40 signed up yet. Come on up anyway if ya want!

Jeff_in_KC · 06-30-2006, 06:44 AM

We're off to Cameron! You all have a great weekend and hopefully we'll have good things to report by Saturday night!

Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!
