Hmmmm...I've been called worse!
Now, pardon me, while I go chicken out!

Just a weak attempt at humor Andy,
do you guys still need judges
Not that I know of ? Maybe the entry fee was too high ? I don't know
You know what scratch that I think I do know why and I'll put it out there. Lack of communication from the organizer. No offense to Eric ( I like the guy ) but he got real quiet for a while and I think teams got nervous.
Prior to the decision to cancel the contest,there were 10 teams signed up, then two bailed out. At the time the decision was made, 10 teams was not sufficent to support the contest and remotely break even, eight made it even harder to forecast what the final count would be. To avoid any further BS with the entire Organizer/Competitor Drama brought on by an unamed BOD member, I did not aggressivley post updates on this forum, applications were received by others and I stayed out of it for the most part. As deadlines for different things required for the contest were at hand and once committed to, the costs and losses were coming out of my pocket. the contest had to be cancelled. Last year I took a chance and we finally got enough teams in the last week to make the contest a break even event and return some decent prize money and awards.
Keep in mind that these two contests are entirely different in nature. This contest now named BBQ Bailout comes with a $ 150.00 smaller entry fee per team, way less meat cost, and is a grilling /cooking contest vs a KCBS style contest. It is a one day event with reduced expenses and a limited payout, so any comparison of interest is hard to gauge. why teams would be"nervous" as Steve puts it is beyond me. I do know that ISS was not a team that had signed up.
...for which I'm being cast as a wimp(along with others)...
Yours in BBQ,
Cliff
Whats strange is that FYBo on the same date at the same team was not able to get more than 6 teams. Something we all dont know about?
Is this gonna be a rain, snow, sleet or sunshine event? Cause it's looking like a mix but I don't care I've been waiting to long to cook something.
