: Each year for the past several years various
: national invitational cook-offs, such as
: Best of the Best in Douglas, Georgia and the
: American in Kansas, have asked me for
: nominations of teams for their cook-off.
:
: In the past I’ve tried to give them a list
: of teams based on both MBA points and on the
: team having won at least one first place in
: one or more competitions. These
: invitational events want first place winners
: (for the most part) but in conversations
: with me they have both embraced our MBA
: structure. Indeed, both have agreed, from
: time to time, that other states should
: follow our good lead in deciding who the
: best cookers are.
:
: This year, for the first time, Memphis in
: May has asked for a list. We will follow
: the same precedent we have set for the last
: several years; that is, we will submit the
: top teams as represented in the MBA points.
: When there is a tie for a position such as
: the current tie (September 21, 2009) of
: Pickin’ Porkers and W.E.T. Site Boys for
: eighth place, we will submit both team
: names.
:
: After talking with the people at Memphis in
: May we have agreed that the SCBA will not
: submit our list to them until the first of
: November, 2009. The MIM people tell me that
: they will mail invitations to the list I
: submit in the middle of December. This
: gives us time to compile a better list and
: it gives more teams more time to improve
: their point standings.
:
: It is undetermined at this time as to how
: many places they will accept but I have
: tentative approval for the first 15 places
: on our list. The first 15 places can
: include “ties” so there will probably be
: more than 15 team names submitted.
:
: If you’ve ever wanted to cook at Memphis In
: May this is your chance and you can do it by
: presenting your best efforts in the
: remaining cook-off events that the SCBA
: judges.
:
: The next MIM is May 13-15, 2010, by the way.
:
: Good luck to all.
