Speaking to the guys at the firehouse (through email). Doesn't seem like there will be $$$ as a prize. But they have got some good prizes that include items like Wsm, ez up canopies, thermopens, coolers, all things that would be utilized during competitions . And of course trophies and things. I did ask for a team list and was not provided one, think he read over that question.

Sorry guys, I haven't been on the forum for a few days and I haven't spoken to the guys from the firehouse since Manorville either, so I will do my best to answer most of your questions and will get the rest of the answers this weekend.
This is from my original post:
The entry fee is $100 per team and each team will be provided 2 cases of pork spareribs, ice, water, electricity and a 20' x 20' site in the parking lot. (2 cases if 15 teams, 1 1/2 cases if 20 teams).
Teams may arrive to setup on Friday night after 7:00PM or Saturday morning at 6:00AM.
Ribs will be provided to each team by 7:00AM.
The Buck-A-Bone Rib Cookoff will be from 1:00PM to 4:00PM with an award ceremony at 5:00PM.
The Buck-A-Bone Rib Cookoff will be the same format as the one at the Battle of the BBQ Brethren in Holtsville last year where the public will buy tickets for $5 and receive 5 tasting tickets and 1 voting ticket. The team with the most voting tickets wins.
Trophies and $1000 worth of prizes will be awarded to the top 5 teams.

The ribs will be spare ribs.
Electric and water will be provided, but please bring 100' of garden hose and extension cord.
Requirements are bleach, fire extinguisher (any size), gloves (latex/nylon) for serving ribs to public.
The people's choice begins at 1pm, ribs are provided at 7am, which gives teams 6 hours to prep and cook the ribs.
The fire department will NOT be competing. The only teams that are competing are brethren teams from this forum.
There are no cash prizes, but there will be items and trophies for the top 5 teams.

I am going away this weekend and I will speak to the FD guys on Monday and get back to all of you with the current team list.
Please let me know if you have any other questions that I need to speak to them about.

I spoke to the Hicksville FD today and here's an update:
They have received payment from about 10 teams. They are going to email me a list of the confirmed teams tonight and I will post it tomorrow.
They are also working on a judged event where each team will turn in one rib to be judged and scored to determine a non-people's choice winner.

If you are still interested, get your applications in soon. We would like to hold this to 15 teams, but will go up to 20 teams if we still have teams that want to compete.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Here is the phone # for the Chief, who I was told was the right person to call. Unfortunately, it's pretty late, so I just his machine.

I'm still out of power, meaning no phone or internet. If someone could give them a call tomorrow, it would be appreciated.

I'd like to sign up if this is actually happening.
