Mark,

I would like to either compete or judge this event.  If competing, I would like to find someone who would like to team up.  I'm pretty good on ribs and pork, weak on chicken and brisket.

We are in committee right now to try to figure that out. the biggest thing is we need to find out if there is enough intrest to even try a comp Here in Tucson so the more teams that say they have an intrest the better selling we can do. The biggest thing is to remember its for the Kids. If we do a Comp it will be the four meats for comp teams and we will be doing a backyard at the same time.  So come guys lets all get on board and do this right and get involved.

You say that it won't be sanctioned as you want as much money as possible to go to the kids but you may be overlooking the fact that teams from out of town as well as out of state won't travel to this event simply because it isn't sanctioned by a national organization.  Perhaps you should contact Gene Goycochea or Merl & Carol Whitebook, all members of the KCBS Board of Directors and very good friends of barbeque in Arizona, to see what options are available.

The last events held in Arizona, in Buckeye and Tempe, (sanctioned by KCBS and IBCA respectively), both drew in excess of 30 teams and those teams came from Arizona, California, Texas, New Mexico, and Illinois.  It's awfully hard to argue with that kind of response.

I can tell you that it is becoming increasingly difficult for us and many other teams that we know to participate in competitions that are unsanctioned because they are trying to be done "on the cheap".

If it matches up with my girls spring break, I'd be there...  Wish I knew when that was going to be for next year....

But I do know what you are saying Vince and I agree.  but then again, Ihave cooked unsanctioned one's that we did and all the entry went to a foundation and the cooks just cooked for fun or the chance to win a prize that was donated.    Which some of the prizes were in excess of $500+...  But we all knew coming in to it that it wouldn't be cash payouts.  Well, OK, it was for my foundation...  but I didn't organize it, just so I could cook it...    ;D

Charity events are great and we've done them in the past.  Heck, we did one just about a month ago in Costa Mesa, CA.  What bothers me is when an unsanctioned event, designed to raise money for a charity, becomes something much more than just for the charity.  Like when someone puts a proclamation on it and makes it a Jack draw event.  Now those of us who pay attention to those events are being blackmailed into entering a contest that doesn't have impartial oversight, a standardized set of rules and all that comes with sanctioning.  Good intentions are just that, good intentions.  National sanctioning creates credibility and accountability which simply doesn't exist at anywhere near the same level in unsanctioned events.

If you want to raise money for a charity, do that.  Make it about that.  Don't turn it into something that it isn't about.

I an willing to bet most teams will pay
a $75 higher entry fee to get KCBS and
 $35 for a IBCA sanctioning
At only 25 teams  times $75 thats $1875
You got er covered
