I second this.... as you can see, this competition isn't even until September.

Also, when viewing from my cell phone, it seems that the site is always goes to 2013 scores as default when I search for teams.

Thanks for pointing this out! We get our data from KCBS. Each contest has a unique ID. When they uploaded scores for a contest last weekend the unique id somehow had a number transposed and so it pulled in this future contest name for the rather than the correct one. KCBS made the correction. We just reran the program and now it is gone.

We appreciate all constructive feedback!

If you want to questions feel free to email or call me! shays@bbqscores.com or 816-876-9019 We do this to help competition bbq as a side thing not our job!
