Smoke on the Water

Here's my question...didn't Las Vegas try to do a $100,000 championship this past year?  It wasn't sanctioned and had "celebrity" judges (which probably means their favorite ribs come from Applebee's).  I don't recall anybody from around here going, how about anywhere else?  That had a big money draw but did they get the teams?

Does this fall into play --
No KCBS sanction, but 50 teams - could that get to be in the draw for the Jack?
KCBS -- IBCA -- MIM -- FBA sanctioning groups to the Jack -- what one more?

50+ teams does not require a Governors proclamation, does qualify for the Jack, and does not have to be sanctioned by KCBS, IBCA or whoever. Just no TOY points.

I don't think that one made it...at least I haven't heard anything about it.

Nope -- did not happen. If I remember right the entry form came out -- it was a joke full of mispshelled words and all.

Did it not happen because they couldn't get enough people?  Makes me wonder if the same thing might happen with this Smoke on the Water event.  People like sanctioning bodies because it means that everyone has a fair chance.

They had it,but it was only like 7 or 8 teams,but I don't think the pay-out was what was originally advertised.If you Google it you can find some info about it and I even found 1 food review from a place called Urban Spoon that said it was terrible.I don't think they will have another one unless Arlie puts one together.

I think it is all in the promoter.From what I have heard, and read, Cates puts on quite a comp and thay have been really big,especially since they are in addition to the Nascar event.I don't think he will have trouble getting the teams,some will travel for that money.

From Ron Cates ---
There's some confusion on our 2010 Schedule. It's posted on www.smokeonthewaterbbq.com. We have 4 NASCAR events scheduled. Daytona, Michigan, Talladega and Phoenix. Phoenix was scheduled originally scheduled for April, but we felt that was too soon, so we moved it to November. As of now, we don't have the details worked out but I'm going to meet with everybody in Daytona this weekend. We will be releasing that information once the contracts are signed. This will be the only year Phoenix will be in Novemeber. In 2011, it will move back to April since we would have a whole year to prepare. What's on the agenda is creating a TOY award with $20k split among top ten tens. The money has not been finalized, so this is speculation at this point. We're also in negotiations with Dallas Cowboys Stadium for a May or June event. This is going to be billed as the world's largest tailgate party with a substantial purse. Just another reason the 90 day rule needs to be looked at because we're at the mercy of the sponsor and can't pull the trigger until they approve everything. Also, if anybody has any questions or comments about Smoke on the Water productions, please feel free to go to our website and contact us direct. Would prefer a real name so we know who we're talking to. Easy to hide behind screen names.

and there it is ---
