Rules are rules. Not knowing the situation, hard to give much in the way of advice. I would NOT write a letter to Brown-Forman.
Good luck.

Ethics can be loosely defined as actions you would take if no one was looking.
Case in point. Last year we won the Sam's club event in Conroe, Texas. No govenor's proclamation designating it as a state championship. In August we received letters from both the Royal and The Jack congratulating us on the win, with applications to both contests. I sent an e-mail to each, graciously thanking them for the invite, but, informing them that unless the rules had changed, we had not won a qualifier. I received an e-mail from both, thanking me for being honest and wishing me good luck in the future. I would hate to think what the consequences would have been if I hadn't done the right thing.
I do not know the circumstances the OP is alluding to. But, I suggest that you do the right thing, whtever that might be.

Claiming a contest that isn't a qualifier?
Oh, that's so 2010 and 2011.
I get so damn sick of shaded accusations and innuendoes from people on this forum. If you wish to accuse a competitor of wrong doing then sack up and name him or her and the contest in question, Scottie and Vince lend no credence to this post since they have hated Harry Soo for years and will never recognize what he is capable of doing. Have some balls, say what you mean or get the hell off the forum.

this was kinda a random thought. My understanding was a team ( from VA,I think) got an invite and they later took it back a couple of years ago. I was just wondering about the motivation or how something like that could happen. I was thinking that possibly someone was tring to position them selfs better to get in the Jack, or that the organizer may have made a mistake.
This thread was never about Harry Soo until two people acted like immature cry-babies and brought him into it through mean spirited innuendo. Yeah, I said it. I think it makes you look really petty to continually insult this man in public unprovoked. I think it makes the BBQ Brethren look equally as bad to condone it. "Moral" people don't act that way. I said it again.

I think we have seen what a team will try to do to get in the Jack the last couple of years. Sorry, its insulting and disrespectful to me. If you have to cheat and lie to get in to a contest that you supposedly" respect, why disrespect it with those kind of actions?

I really just liked the picture I'm going back to my prostate cancer awareness ribbon once I get back to my computer.
