Just a little info about proposed plans for 2010.
Should be another increase in prize money. The committee will review other FBA contests and their payouts. I am in favor of paying 6-10 place a small dollar amount instead of increasing 1-5 place. Since I am not a voting member of the committee, your input would really help. Some of the members felt that a $25 was not worth giving(I don't know about y'all but the last time I saw a $5 bill on the ground I bent my big butt over and picked it up!)
2009 was a great success with only 42 teams competing. The logistics of fitting in 42 teams vs. 56 teams(2008) in our confined space was like night and day. The committee has decided to limit the number of teams for 2010. Probably in the neihborhood of 44-45 teams max. It is a hard choice to make. The BBQ teams themselves don't make the event any money, BUT, without the teams we would not have an event!
Lets face it, we have very limited space. It was so much easier this year getting cooking rigs in and out with only 42 teams that limiting the number of teams is the best.
With all of that said, Get your application and entry fee in as early as possible to insure a space.
Thanks again to all of you that came to Barnesville, Teams and judges alike. We enjoyed having all of you with us!
