BBQ Pitmasters = Bigger Competitions?

Heavenly Hog · 12-16-2009, 10:16 AM

With the exposure the TV show has brought to BBQ'ing, I don't think our local competitions will have a problem getting enough teams. What do you guys think?

Jacked UP BBQ · 12-16-2009, 10:29 AM

I dont know one person in my area who has seen the show that doesn't already compete. I am not sure this show will bring much around here.

Jorge · 12-16-2009, 10:31 AM

I doubt that it will make a noticeable difference. The show may raise awareness and interest, but I don't think that it is going to pull a bunch of new teams out of the woodwork.

Sledneck · 12-16-2009, 10:41 AM

I think its the beginning of the end for small teams. Gonna become a big money sport where the small guy wont be able to afford to compete.

RubMeTender · 12-16-2009, 10:42 AM

I think that once the script has the Pablo Diablo team start getting some calls it's definitely going to pull some new teams in.
If the script shows a guy going from dead last to placing in money over the course of the season, you can bet your heavenly hog arse that new teams will join up.;-)

For Roc City we have been running an ad locally during the show and I can tell you the results are very low. I don't think the viewership is very large YET outside of the bbq community. I have hope that they will rerun it to death, which should help.

Disagree, there are 100's of small contests all over the country with entry fees less than $200. Heck, right now you can sign up for three contests at the Roc City Ribfest for $200.

Yeah thats now, i was referring to the future of BBQ comp, it gonna be bigger than the tiger woods scandal

Big George's BBQ · 12-16-2009, 11:10 AM

I thing you may see increased community interest at a Comp. Not necessarily more teams. especially with the current economy

Diva Q · 12-16-2009, 11:14 AM

There were an additional 43 registrations to the KCBS the first week of the show which was a record increase. I have no doubt this will increase the applications to Competitions at first probably in the Amateur series and then more.
