And now, in the witless number-crunching events:
I'll be interested to figure out each state's ratio of contests/members, and the average for the six-state area where we range as compared to other parts of the country.

Small correction to the spreadsheet. NY has 7 contests next year not including Grilling only. Rochester, Lake Placid, Boston, Troy, New Paltz, Buffalo and Sayville. and yes I mean Boston NY These are the ones sanctioned already now that is not to say a few more might not pop up |

So this is proof that KCBS has grown beyond Kansas City? Not trying to stir anything up. Seems to me a lot of talk has been about how KCBS is not just about Kansas City, yet the KS and MO numbers seem to indicate otherwise. I'm personally good with it being more nationally focused. Do we have a change from previous year to measure against to show this growth? If not, then I guess this is the benchmark to set for measuring next years numbers against.

chew on this
Here's some numbers crunched, (thanks for the spreadsheet Phil) It seems the North East in general and New England specifically are way ahead in Certification and woefully underserved in contest oppertunities.
On the surface of these stats NE BBQ is far more difficult to win or place. And the KCBS needs to attend to cultivating organizers and contests. Members/CBJ's/contest#'s New England 250 208 4 New York 331 269 5 KCBS 9,811 7,370 261 % CBJ's KCBS 75.1 NY 81.3 New England 83.2 # Members per contest NY/NE 64.6 KCBS 37.6

Quote:
What KCBS doesn't show in these #'s is the breakdown of registered competition teams per state which is part of what would be needed to determine where the ideal concentration of contest locations should be. I would like to think demand would ultimately determine this. As for regionalization - At first I thought it made sense, but the more i think about it I feel it just adds a level of unneeded bureacracy. There could be some small benefits but I don't see how it helps that much more. (Ex. if there are a member in 44 members in New Hampsire, if the nearest BOD member is in NY/NJ/CT as an example, how does that make any difference on the day to day or long term issues ? I think it should ultimately go to who the most qualified candidates are, not a waterded down field based on zip code. Giving members more access to BOD meetings and also providing better forums for communication (like this BOD forum) will allow the members to get a better feel as to who has the best interests at heart regardless of home state.
