Lake, I want you thank you for getting things worked out with Dennis Jarrett of Pot Belly Cookers. If he is happy all is well.

: The Events Calendar on the Message Board list
: all the events in South Carolina of which we
: are aware and the dates of which we are
: informed.
:
: The red are the ones the SCBA judges and the
: green are the ones we do not judge. It has
: nothing to do with MBA. The legend on the
: Events Calendar page says nothing about MBA
: it only refers to those that we judge and
: which others judge.
:
: This year the SCBA awards MBA points for all
: events which we judge that are SCBA only
: events and which are not “invitational;”
: that is, where any team that wished to
: participate may do so. This I clearly
: stated in my previous message. Also, as I
: clearly stated, we have never awarded MBA
: points in the Best of the Best in any of the
: previous years. That statement was as clear
: as I could make it.
:
: MBA points were not awarded at Myrtle Beach
: because KCBS teams were allowed by the
: organizers, for their own financial reasons,
: to also enter the SCBA contest. Since the
: meat source for KCBS was different from the
: meat source for the SCBA teams it would not
: have been fair to SCBA teams to have to
: compete against KCBS teams. That was also
: clearly stated on the Message Board three
: weeks before the Myrtle Beach event. Please
: be reminded that the SCBA did not change
: that entry rule (the Shrine did) and they
: did so over our objections.
:
: This year’s MBA, by the way, is slightly
: different from last year where the event
: promoter decided if they wanted to award
: points and paid a separate fee to do so.
: This year, as I say, all events saw points
: awarded except the invitational event.
:
: To try to make more of these clearly stated
: positions than actually exist does us all a
: disservice.

: just for the record there were 43 teams
: invited to yhe best of the best not 16 as
: you were told.this event was highlighted in
: pink which is to indicate it was a points
: scoring event. the events in green indicate
: this is not a points scoring event.is it
: just coincidence that this event is also
: sponsored by the same people that you took
: the points away from the week before. maybe
: it would be nice if someone could put out a
: list of which events you are going to score
: the points for.

: Greg Gladney called and reminded me (I had
: forgotten) that we have never awarded MBA
: points at the Best of the Best because it is
: an invitational event and all cookers,
: therefore, are not eligible to enter. We
: only give points in those events where
: everyone may enter if they wish.
:
: We did not give points last year (or the
: year before) nor will we be giving points
: this year either.
:
: Since the Shrine moved the Best of the Best
: from the end of the year (as it was last
: year) to September, there were only 16 teams
: eligible this year because many of the
: events the SCBA judges had not taken place.
:
: Sorry for the confusion.
