American Royal Q&A

Ed's hot tub - that would be the bath tub where ever he is staying to soak his tired and
aching feet ! A bunch of us may be doing the same thing.

OK - heard back about parking:

Refer to the Chiefs site map with overview of the whole parking scheme from my post above.

Team parking will be in Lot A - directly east of Kaufman Stadium

Public parking : Since team spaces will be Lots C D F and G and team parking is Lot A
And judges, volunteers, and staff will be in Lot E - public parking will be spread out
over all of the rest of the lots not mentioned above.

Oh, and I got it backwards about which side is which for teams - just look at your site assignment. It indicates the which lot you are in. If all else fails, see the site maps
on the Royal site.
So anyway- Gates will likely be gate 1 and 7 but not decided for sure. Just look at your site
assignment and the map and pick the gate that is closest for you.

Hey, Ed, thanks for your input. We will have to have a good visit !

Hope this helps.

Hey Ed, any word yet on if there will be a hot tub? :thumb:

Have not recieved my personal invite as of today.
Perhaps we should prepare for a barley fueled walkabout and see for ourselves????
Ed

P.S. What version of sexual deviancy will you introduce me to this time?

Sounds good Ed.

And as for the second question, you just never know! :thumb:

Go to the main AR page and then the BBQ page and then look at the Kim Palmer link. There is a good map and tells what gates for teams to enter 1 and 7

Somebody please tell me that judging is on the ground level. My vague remembrance of the tower club is that its on the second level. ?????

carlyle · Sep 16, 2015

I talked with my contact with the Royal committee again.

His answers about turn in and judging:

There will be 2 turn in locations. One on each corner of the stadium closest to the parking lots your team site is located. See the site map with 2 turn in spots indicated.

Each spot is one half turn up the spiral to the next level. It is a ramp, not stairs.

Judging will be on the second level but judges will have access to escalators and elevators.

Hope this helps.

You have a very fast three wheeled scooter! It'll take those ramps no problem

Anything over 100ft and I won’t be carrying the box. Its in the Purgatory by laws.

My concern was the trip up the ramp.

carlyle · Sep 17, 2015

The solution there is don't trip !
That would be Purgatory. Or worse.

It is a ramp after all. No stairs.

And think how easy it will be coming down the ramp after turn in.

Question about parsley

I am planning on getting a case of parsley to use for both contests. What is the best way to pack all of that to keep it fresh until the contests? I plan to leave Wednesday afternoon. Do I chance getting a case of parsley at RD in KC? Im assuming alot of people will be buying theirs there as well.

jaestar · Sep 21, 2015

I put mine in a cooler, stalk side down with an inch or two of water and some ice. I then sprinkle ice on top of the parsley. I add ice as it melts.

Balls Casten · Sep 25, 2015

Ok, so the teams walk the boxes up the ramp. That is better than someone walking a tray up or hauling on a cart. Good Good

Parking passes

I know this is a long shot, but would anyone have 2 extra contestant parking passes? Apparently I made a rookie mistake and forgot to order 2 extra. I would pay for them if the price is right.

Pretty sure we will have an extra one. No need for pay for cash, I will settle for a beer. PM me with some contact info, we should hit town sometime Thurs.

Not that it matters to me, but curious about the payouts. I cannot seem to find them anywhere on their website. Does anybody know where to find them.

carlyle · Sep 27, 2015

I could not find it on Royal site either.

KCBS lists the Invitational as $31,300 payout, but no breakdown.
and the Open as $56,125 payout, but again no breakdown.

Lotta cash, no matter how they distribute it.
Gonna be a fun time, hope you are going to be there.

Last year OPEN was 15k for GC. Then kingsford matched that also. So 30k.

11th in ribs got me $200

Smitty250 · Sep 28, 2015

The Open GC was $12,500 last year, RGC was $6,500.

Invitational GC was $10,000.
