Eric-
That's really not correct.
NEBS came up with grilling rules in response to the fact that everyone was sick of going to contests and having to ask 900 questions about the rules since they were different depending on the organizer, and what was given was unclear... stuffing, garnish, bring your own plates, wrapping in another meat, can the sausage be premade, even down to the definition of a shellfish... or what constitues a fillet etc. ... and the NEBS rules were made to give organizers options without it being a total re-education for team every single event.
And, the NEBS grilling rules clearly state they can be modified by a organizer if he wants to make additions, changes, and then they are presented to the BOD for approval. Harpoon requires their beer to be used... GOTB limits what may be used in a stuffing... etc.
The format that you submitted included onsite judging, it was discussed and decided that as every single other event that counts towards team of the year involves blind judging, that this format was inconsistant to the point it introduced factors that were not present in any other NEBS event.
So in reponse, you and the other organizers decided you would rather use your format than change that one aspect of the contest. Which is totally fine, and obviously up to you, but lets give the whole story here before saying that NEBS turned you down like the door was closed in your face.
nancee,,,,,,,,,,shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAs most of you know, I am a very loyal NEBS supporter...usually much to my detriment!
I have cooked in every grilling contest at every contest for years
While I do not like the NEBS griiling rules, I don't understand the concept of throwing the NEBS/KCBS outline in the trash and doing this bastardization of KCBS/MIM rules for grilling at Sayville...
So I am confused but not enough to realize that a) this is not NEBS sanctioned b) there are no TOY points and 3) there is no $$$$
so why would we want to do this other than the fact we have already put up our $25?
Last years' last minute rule changes made me crazy...I could stay at my office if I wanted that again!!!!
This is supposed to be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And no, Clint, you are not the bad guy...

I'm really tired of this.
In order to stop the complaining, if anyone finds this contests 'concept' completely unacceptable, I will personally give you back your 25 bucks and leave the prize pool intact.
Now I know why grill kings threw in the towel.
How about instead of a first place rib bet, we do a 13th place chicken bet. That way there's no pressure. All money should go to breast cancer awareness also.
OK now for a real serious and important issue. Are we doing any bets?
