No doubt sounds like my idea needs a little tweaking. I still like the basic concept though.
So the average number of teams at a contest is not 38.79. That is the average of the subset of contests that was cherry picked by this person for their own purpose.
It immediately got picked up as the average number of teams per contests, which it is not. I would guess that the average number of teams per contest is probably closer to 30 because there are a lot of contests with less than 25 teams and only 1 AR Open to skew the number higher.
Smells to me like a small group wants to change the TOY bonus so they just made up some numbers to justify it.Which makes you wonder why they excluded contests if they wanted the average and if they were looking for a way to help small local contests.
If anything, they should do different divisions for teams that don't cook so many contests, similar to what bbqscores started doing with the data.
that is what the regional stuff is for IMO.
I meant all the GBC, Great Lakes, MABA, NEBS, and all the rest of the regional team of the year programs. I dont think that KCBS should create a Team of the Year classification.
It doesnt bother me in the least that I dont really have a shot at winning KCBS ToY. I dont put in the effort that the teams that do compete for it do.
I think that the 2014 change is about the perfect perfect brisket situation. I believe what happened is that if you score a perfect perfect you get 1st place points regardless of where you end up on the scoresheet.
The 2015 ToY race will use the new 35 point max contest.
I noticed a change in the brisket category, does it only apply to brisket?
I am assuming that brisket is the only category where someone has scored a perfect perfect and not won the category.
While I think it was the right thing to do, It should have went into affect for 2015, just like the bonus points.
