Regional Team of the year champions

Team logistics is probably the hardest part for teams to attend the best of the best. I was invited a couple years ago but couldn't travel that far.
 
The Grand Canyon State BBQ Association actually has two divisions in our Team of the Year race.

Our champions were:

Grand Canyon Cup Division - Loot N' Booty BBQ
Copper Star Division - I.A.B. 30 BBQ
 
Quick question for you guys.... Do most "Associations" sanction their own contests under their own rules, judges, etc, or do they count points from existing sanctioned contests by a sanctioning body like a KCBS that take place within their state, like a points challenge?

NEBS has three TOY races. NEBS TOY, Rookie TOY, and the Ken Dakai cup.

The NEBS TOY recognizes the top 5 in each KCBS category and the top 5 overall, using the best 5 scores from each NEBS team that registers for the TOY race. KCBS events need 15 or more teams to count for NEBS TOY.

Rookie TOY is the rookie team with the best 5 overall scores. I believe the head cook can't have been in more than 3 pro contests prior to the current year in order to be considered a rookie team.

The Ken Dakai Cup is the team with the best 5 overall scores for NEBS sanctioned events, normally (but not always) grilling events held the same weekend as a KCBS event. Although NEBS is the sanctioning body for those, they use the KCBS scoring rules under license from KCBS. NEBS events must have at least 15 teams to be considered.
