: Outstanding guys that's great info! Come on
: cook teams there was over 300 teams that

: These are not in any particular order
: 1. Event must have a payout of at least 3
: places with a minimum of 1K first place
: unless it is a first time event.
: 2. Must be allotted enough space, can't
: stand to be crunched up.
: 3. Must have power and water unless special
: circumstances or maybe for a first time
: event.
: 4. No mandatory AB that we as cookers have
: to furnish when enough must be prepared for
: the public
: 5. A cook-off that offers volunteers to give
: out the Q on Sat will always take preference
: over one that doesn't
: 6. Will not cook an event that will not let
: us leave after awards.
: 7. Will not cook events where quiet time and
: order are not enforced by the organizer.
: Like Garland said, this is a hobby, a very
: expensive hobby, and if the organizer
: doesn't seem to care about the needs and
: concerns about the cookers we will cook
: elsewhere or just go fishing, hunting, or to
: a football game.

: 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.
