2012 sam's club contests

[huminie]

Disappoint. Nothing in Northern California.

 

[JD McGee]

Still nothing in my neck of the woods...as usual...we may look into Salt Lake City...I'll just have to bring my own libations...if you know what I mean...lol!

 

[rooftop bbq]

hmm San Diego, or Vegas

 

[Sledneck]

Medford ny same weekend as Hudson valley

 

[brog315]

Dang, no Conroe, TX...and wedding the weekend of Dallas. Hoping to be able to make Austin or Baton Rouge. I really enjoyed the KCBS and Sams Club format last year.

 

[dmprantz]

We had three close to us last year, only one this year, but at least the regional is local. Looks like there are a lot of Sat-Sun comps in there too....

dmp

 

[SCSmoke]

Looks like I may be in for a trip to Madison WI. Good Luck everyone.

 

[Sledneck]

Some nice money they got there damn.....

 

[huminie]

The Region 1 San Diego contest will likely only attract teams from SoCal, but the Region 1 final is on the same day as a previously scheduled Arlie Bragg event in Long Beach.

 

[Muzzlebrake]

Looks like they have tweaked some of the rules too. Teams can only register for one local event. I like the new payout schedule. Finally a contest showing a little love to the overall results!

Be nice if we could get some more contests up here in the Northeast, but hey who doesn't like a good road trip?

 

[southernstyle]

two in florida, both 2 hour drive for us. decisions. :roll:

 

[Rub]

I'm in! Not sure which FL contest....

 

[Rich Parker]

5. Teams are allowed to register for only one local qualifier. In the spirit of fairness, teams are not allowed to compete in more than one local qualifier. A team’s head cook and team members cannot enter the assigned cooking area of another team at another Sam’s Club contest.If it is determined that a head cook or team member is abusing this rule, both teams will be disqualified.

This rule is going to create some entertainment.

 

[Leatherheadiowa]

I love the fact that the local closest to me is 3 blocks away. Too bad the club manager had no clue about the contest until I told him. The Des Moines, Iowa contest may be tougher than the entire regional. IMHO...

 

[sitnfat]

Yeah no close contests this year dont k ow if we will try Marietta or not

[Bourbon Barrel BBQ]

Do these contest count toward the Jack?

 

[dmprantz]

My understanding from last year: If a local qualifier has a state proclaimation it will count toward The Jack. Regionals will not.

[Muzzlebrake]

schedule says Pleasantville,PA the map shows the contest in what looks like Pleasantville NJ.........

which looks like it is the same weekend as New Holland.....

 

[Sauced!]

I agree. I like the overall payouts but the category payouts at the local level are pretty weak. $300 for 1st is not good.
