I am unaware of any team being disqualified for missing a cooker’s meeting. If this has happened please tell me when and where.

: In order for me to consider an event for my
: team to enter this year, here are some of
: the most important factors
:
: 1. Is the payout worth the effort?
: 2. If not is the event a prestigious BBQ
: event?
: 3. Does the event have trophies and not a
: plaque or ribbons.
: 4. How many places does the event pay out.
: 5. Does the event have ALL Preparations in
: place for the cookers upon arrival.
: (making cookers wait for water or electric,
: when the events have been planned in
: advance, sometime a year in advance is
: unacceptable from event organizers and
: insulting to my team)
: 6. Is the meat going to be FROZEN, in a
: competition this is not acceptable and again
: is insulting.
: 7. What time do you get your competition
: meats? if later than 4pm unacceptable.
: 6. Is the cookers meeting mandatory?
: 7. If so, will I or my team be threatened
: with, or DQ'ed if missed. (this has happened
: to my team in the SCBA... unbelievable)?
:
: At the end of the day, BBQ competitions are
: a hobby, and with any hobby it's about
: having fun.
: I look forward to seeing everyone this year
: and hope this helps move the needle and
: improves SC BBQ competitions.

: Great question, Brian! I’ll play. To
: consider
: an event, I ask myself the following
: questions:
:
: 1. Is the event for a cause I deem worthy of
: my time, effort and expense?
: 2. Is ATB mandatory? If so, is the reward
: worth the investment?
: 3. Does the event organizer treat the
: cookers with courtesy and respect?
: 4. Does the event organizer ensure
: reasonable and manageable behavior?
: 5. Can I recoup my entry fee with a third
: place payout?
: 6. Date/season – no event is November,
: January and February. (Not a question -
: Personal rule)
:
: If the answer to any of the above questions
: is no, there is a high probability the Big
: GQ will not be participating.
:
: At the end of the day, BBQ is a hobby to
: me…and with any hobby, I want to have fun.
: The above questions help me keep that is
: mind.
