THE RULES:
******** NEW RULE *******
We now have an official rule about home made sauces and rubs. You can can read it here: https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/s...d.php?t=254160
If you’re a trader you’re on the hook for ONE RUB and ONE SAUCE this round. More is better and that can be a lot of fun, but it’s not necessary. Some folks don’t have access to a lot of stuff where they live. And that’s the idea, btw – send your partner stuff from your area and he/she will return something from their area. If you can’t find enough local stuff, then grab something exotic from somewhere else – that’s fine. And try and stay away from the common items; the Kraft’s, the KC Masterpieces, etc!
Once the signup phase closes the computer will match everyone up with someone they've not traded with before who lives far, far away. Note that the computer has no records of the first 15 rounds, so you may get hooked up with someone from a previous trade, but future trades will not encounter this until you've traded with everyone that signs up. An e-mail messages will be sent to each matched pair (or threesome if there is an odd number of traders), and the rest is up to you.
Remember: Communications is Key. We all have stuff come up so if you’re unable to trade or do it on time, just drop your partner and me a note. No sweat.
Slugs… Slugs are those who do not trade in a timely way and do not communicate their troubles to me and their partners. Slugs will be salted. Depending on the circumstances (unanswered messages, reasons for
being late, etc.) slugs will be blacklisted from trading for several trade rounds - or they may be completely dead to me. Salting is performed on a predetermined date based on your package getting marked as received by your trading partner. So make sure you mark your packages as sent and received.
To trade, you must have an account and have entered your address information on the web site at http://www.NCGrimbo.com/BBQ_Sauce_Trade .
Information on how to sign up for an account and how to sign up for a trade round can be found in the sticky section of the "Trading Post" forum.
Round 30 was the first to use the "Opt-In" for new trade round notifications and several members received notice of the trade before this post was made. Check out the sticky section for information on how to "Opt-In".
Feel free to PM NCGrimbo if you have any problems or suggestions with the web based trading system.
