2010 Arizona Rookie of the Year (ROY)

Here are some thoughts about a new idea for 2010.  Please comment.

2010 ROY
To be eligible for the Arizona Rookie of the Year (ROY), a team must be be led by a head cook that has not been a head cook at any sanctioned competition prior to January 1, 2010.

Head cooks must compete under the same team name to be eligible for the 2010 ROY race.  In the event that a head cook opts to switch teams, he/she will then be competing under two separate ROY eligible teams.  Points for the head cook will not be combined in this instance.

Head cooks must compete in a minimum of 2 contests to be eligible for the 2010 ROY.  The top 3 contest scores for each head cook will count towards the 2010 ROY race.

In the event of a 2010 ROY tie, the tie breaker will be decided as follows:

First tie breaker -  Brisket points total from top 3 2010 scores.
Second tie breaker (if needed) - Pork points total from top 3 2010 scores.
Third tie breaker (if needed) - Ribs points total from top 3 2010 scores.
Fourth tie breaker (if needed)- Chicken points total from top 3 2010 scores.
 
If any teams are still tied after all four tie breakers have been applied, a coin flip will determine the final winner.

Does the head cook or team have to be from Arizona to be eligible for RoY?  If not then if it should come down to a coin flip and one cook is from Arizona and the other not maybe it should go to the Az cook.

I like Mike's previous idea of including teams in the 2010 ROY that didn't compete the whole year in 2009.

I agree Smitty.  Maybe it should include teams that competed in less than 2 events in 2009.

It should include teams that didn't compete the whole year of 2009 no matter how many comps they did.

YOGI BERRA HAS JOINED OUR FORUM!

I could see allowing teams that first competed @ Tempe to be eligible. Then again, I can see the other side of the coin. Kinda like the KCBS 90 day thing...

I am just making a suggestion. Also this would benefit most of the teams that started around the same time in 2009 at the Prescott BBQ Comp or around Pulte time frame. If you just do teams that only competed in 1 event last year that will disqualify pretty much every Rookie team that started in 2009. It's just a suggestion - I don't make the rules!

What do you suggest Jay?

Going back and rereading your statement. It can be taken in two different ways. My first impression was as Dave suggested....Yogi Berra in the house...."that didn't compete the whole year of 2009" .....suggesting 'a team that didn't compete at all in 2009 no matter how many comps they did'.....threw me off. Sorry

I have no personal suggestions for ROY. I'll stay out of that one. ;)

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.

Anyone that received points in any Triple Crown Contest before the "Summer Break 2009"  would be ineligible for RoY 2010. 

In other words, if you competed in Prescott, Pulte or Tempe the last few months of 2009, you would still be considered a rookie, if you competed in any Triple Crown Contests in the early part of the year then you are no longer considerd a "rookie."
