Hey all, we just firmed up details for this November's Big BBQ Cook-off.

Pulte Homes will once again be our big, Presenting Sponsor and it will once again be held out at their Festival location West of Surprise off of Bell Road.

What weekend would work best for this event? I know there are sporting events scattered throughout the month including NASCAR, ASU & The Cardinals, so please sound off on what weekend would be more preferred.

We are currently looking at a $10,000 prize pool paid in Cash at the event with the possibilty of going up depending upon sponsorships.

This will be an Official State Championship as we do have the Governor's Proclaimation.  I don't know yet if it will be sanctioned by KCBS or by AZBarbeque like the last two were.  Thoughts, suggestions, Ideas? 

From our discussions with Pulte, this is really going to be an incredible event and we are very excited that Pulte has stepped up to help make this event happen.

Our goal is to get 25 - 30 teams out there, but we will only need 15 for it to be a State Championship since it will be a first year event for Pulte. 

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas on this event.

Thanks,

ASU has a big home game against UCLA that Friday, but if that weekend works, we could work around it.

The problem would be that it's such a shopping weekend that I don't know if Pulte will feel they can get enough of the public out there that same time.

If your event is on the 8th, we could still do one the 15th or 22nd.

Thoughts, suggestions??

I'm going to elaborate on my answer just a bit and make another suggestion:

If this or any other event is not sanctioned by either KCBS or IBCA then I think it should drop the "State Championship" designation.  I've kept this opinion mostly to myself but I think it is time to be more open about it.  My reasoning is that a State Championship is supposed to be a big deal and with it potentially come some hefty perks.  Because of the serious nature of those perks, the event should be under the supervision of a neutral and disinterested third party, (KCBS or IBCA Rep), and have a judging pool that is as experienced and educated as possible.
