2010 Arizona Rookie of the Year (ROY)

[RangerJurena]

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 was thinking out loud, I can see both points of view. My "which" is irrelevant.

Looks like its working itself out. 
I plan on not finishing DAL and have no other expectations.

OK silly question, What are the four events to qualify for ROY.

Does the Whiskey River Rib throwndown count?

[Mrs. McFrankenboo]

I'm going to venture to say the Chandler Throwdown, Arizona Barbeque Festival in Scottsdale, Prescott event, Pulte and BBQ Island.

"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."

If we've only competed once in 2009 can we just switch our "head cook" and still be eligible for RoY?  I don't want to seem like we're trying to  cheat but as many others... I feel were still rookies.

You only need to enter two events to qualify for the 2010 ROY.  Scores from a team's top three events will be used to determine the winner.

Basically, doing two events gets your name in the race.  Realistically, three events betters a teams chances at winning.

  What if I switch the name to Boot N' Looty and I'm the head cook for 2010... does that count?   JK...

Technically, yes!  You should have no problem doing this, it's well within the rules.

Technically, yes...... but I dont think any of the other teams are worried, concerned or even afraid.

Whoever gets the $$$ is the Head cook..    

The events that count are the ones that we list as "Official" AZBarbeque Triple Crown events.  Right now, on the schedule are Havasu, Chandler, Scottsdale, Prescott & Pulte.

We have another 3 we are also currently working on..

Good Luck!!

What teams are competing for the 2010 ROY?  I know I see some team names that I dont recognize competing out at Havasu.

[kckid5az]

I'm going for ROY.  I'll be at Havasu, Chandler and Scottsdale for sure.  After that I hope to do 2 or 3 more, but we'll see as the year unfolds.  I also plan on going home to compete in the American Royal if I can talk myself into the drive.
