You will find your table assignment on the sign in sheet. Butts will be judged at 10:00 AM and Ribs will be judged at 11:00 AM. If you are receiving an Apron, Senior Apron, or Master Apron and have not notified me or posted it on the website sign-up page, please get in touch with me so that I can ensure that I have one available to present it to you for all your hard work.
If you have a family member that is cooking with a team you will not be able to judge at this event, but we can assign you to other duties. Please let me know in advance. Also, please remember not to fraternize with the cook teams on Saturday morning until all judging is officially over. A quick hello and good luck is acceptable.
We encourage you to stay after judging to go out and meet the teams (this is an excellent way to find a team to cook with for you folks that want to advance in the SCBA ranks) let them know we appreciate them being there. Also, they will have vendors, bands, and entertainment for the kids for you to enjoy. The Gatlin Brothers will be performing at 7:00 PM, the cost for tickets for their concert is $75.
If for some reason, you will not be able to attend, please let me know ASP. Thanks
