Just was looking at their website and it seems there are two separate, full competitions this year on the same weekend at the same site?
There are judges applications up, and cooks apps for what they are calling the Saturday contest and the Sunday contest.
Saturday contest includes an optional extra "Black Box" category over and above the main 4 meats, and Saturday will have a dessert option.
I've never heard of this being done before anywhere, although I know some have done 2 back to backs on the same weekend, but in different locations. (Except the Royal, or dual sanctioned events like Murphysboro)
I confirmed with one of the organizers that this is 2 full comps, one site, same weekend, and there's a caveat posted on the application....
IMPORTANT NOTE: To be eligible to participate in this additional contest you [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]must [/FONT][/FONT]compete in the regular contest which is held on Sunday May 25, 2014. There are no exceptions to this note.
Here is the great part…this contest is set at a flat entrance fee (not including side comp), regardless of the size space you have for the Sunday contest.
I'm guessing they did that so they could guarantee once you're in, you know you aren't going anywhere until Sunday after turn ins
So wondering, how many that plan to do this one will be doing both, , how many just Sunday, and why?
We're kind of on the fence right now, so curious what folks are thinking
