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?
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.
Not so much from the show but other things going on. 2010 has a 100K contest as well as 3 contests at nascar tracks. Not complaining , just sayin...I fear this may be the outcome as well....
Doesnt look like he got the right "script"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.;-)

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

He's from Texas right?
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.
