I agree with Brian, this is truly a sad day that the $4,000 in prize money that Anderson University pays out will go unclaimed. I can't believe that there weren't a few more teams who would have liked a chance at some cash to carry home. Only 4 teams signed up, I'm pretty sure that they would have gone on with 10 teams. Ten teams competing and they pay five places. Looks like pretty good odds to me.
If you never have cooked this one you'll never find a more cooker friendly contest or a crowd that appreciates good Q more than the Students, Staff and Alumni of Anderson University. Give them some serious thought next year.

Speaking as a team who has cooked this competition since it started, I am saddened. I wish our membership could have supported these fine folks better than this. I understand many teams are going to the other big money competition. I guess the old rule of "follow the money" is true in BBQ too! Previous Message
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with great sadness that I must inform everybody that this year’s Anderson University’s Trojan Cook-Off has been cancelled due to only a few teams having signed-up, at this time. With the event scheduled for Friday October 18 – 19, 2019, as part of their annual Homecoming and Family Weekend, Bradley Orr doesn’t believe they will have enough teams to meet their minimum requirement to host the event.
Anderson has been one of the premier events, in the Upstate, for both cook teams and judges. At this time, they still plan to host a SCBA sanctioned event, in 2020, but on a different date.
If anybody has any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Brian
