2010 Arizona Rookie of the Year (ROY)

Discussion started on

glenntm

And they'd deserve to, especially vs. a 'rookie' that's been cookinbg since October of the previous year..

If someone cooked in Oct, Nov, and Dec they would  have qualified for the 2009 ROY.  That should exclude them from the 2010 season.  I'm talking about teams that cooked 1 event in 2009 and didn't qualify for ROY. 

I really don't think cooking in one event gives anyone that big of a advantage.

There was no 2009 ROY race.  2010 is the first time Arizona is doing a ROY race.

Sounds like it is getting complicated.......

Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2010....... Never competed prior to Jan. 1, 2010... compete as much as you want according to TOY guidelines during 2010... ROY team could also be TOY... Rookie of Year could be MVP in most leagues.... at the end of Dec. 31, 2010.. Rookie team with most points out of rookies.. ROY.... there u go

Come on Jay, I was looking for some guidance from our seasoned competitors on this.  Would love to hear the feedback.

We want to make it fair to everyone and make it fun.  After all, that's what BBQ is all about.

Sure, back date the award to 2009....

But seriously, I guess Dean has a pretty fair "line".  But honestly and no offense to Loot n Booty, but 3 comps is probably not a "rookie" for 2010, in my opinion.

If I had 3 comps under my belt before I started, I would have eliminated a big part of the learning curve.  Honestly, I would almost say anyone who started at Tempe - fall, would still be considered a rookie.  Perhaps, Pulte.

If we want to go back to Prescott, that is fine as well.  Not my concern in 2010.

So which is it? You say Dean has a pretty fair "line" which his "line" starts mid year 2009 and includes 3 competitions (Prescott, Pulte, and Tempe). Then you say 3 comps is probably not a rookie. If his "line" is fair to you it will include teams that competed in all three of those events as well as teams that only competed in one or two of them.

Let's make it simple - start fresh in 2010 and only include teams that have never competed before 2010. That is about as fair as you can get. I'm not worried about ROY - I'm going for TOY!!

I concour... I haven't read this whole thread but was wondering why it would even be a question in the first place. Jan 1st through Dec. 31st... Simple.

Looking fwd to seeing yall in Havasu!!! It's going to be a great event!

I agree. In 2001 when I first started there was no ROY either..but we're not taking the 2010 ROY back to then.

Jan 1, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2010 gets my vote.

Just my 2 cents
Because the rookie of the year is a new concept then let the teams that are going for it be new also. Starting this year, Jan 2010-Dec 2010.
With that being said I also wish there was a rookie of the year last year BUT there wasn't so Good luck to all the new teams that are going to compete for it. As a great UFC referee once said "Lets get it on"

When does the TOY race start??  January 1.  ROY should follow the same dates, otherwise it just gets confusing.
