I remember the first year Euharlee was sanctioned by KCBS - lots of guys showed up thinking they would sneak in under the radar and win an easy Jack qualifier.
One of them told me they were planning on just that, until they looked around the cooks meeting and realized half the field were ringers counting on exactly the same thing! If I didn't have Dillard the following weekend I'd be in this one for sure. Take the gamble folks - it could be a lot of fun.
Yes. 15 teams needed for a first year event.I was wondering if there was any new info available about this contests and sure enough the brethren provides.
thanks. I believe that we are one of the 20 signed up, looking forward to getting out and competing and a first year with 20 teams is a qualifier, right?
If there are any of you who might have been waiting to hear if there would be enough teams to make this a qualifier, I've been told there are now 20 teams that have registered for this event. The location looks like it will be ideal and has been used as a fairgrounds, rodeo, concert venue and I'm sure other events of which I'm unaware. As you know, Tim will not be there on Friday but there are several individuals who will be helping with load-in that are experienced and we do not expect any issues - well, any more than any other first year contest. Rusty and I are looking forward to seeing everyone there. If you have any questions that we can answer do not hesitate to ask.

Julie,
Do you have any new information that may be important to the teams? Unless I'm all alone in this, the teams haven't received any information from the contest at this point...we've cooked enough that I don't really need an email from the organizer (or their minions), but it makes me a tad nervous that I haven't heard anything from them since the venue change.
I know you and Rusty have it all under control, but it would be nice to hear from someone associated with the event and not just the reps :biggrin1:.
Hopefully they'll send something out today- I would love to setup on Thursday but at this point I'm not sure if or when they will be available on Thursday.

Beth,
I've asked that Andy Turner or Tim send an email to the teams outlining logistics of loading in, water, power, etc. I suggested that should be done tomorrow. I've requested the team list and I plan to call Tim tomorrow and talk to him about this as well. We'll get you some sort of information even if it has to come from me. I would prefer the organizer send it to you, but we'll get it to you one way or another. There are a few other items I want to get confirmed and solidified (little things like confirmation that awards will be paid at award ceremony - just the small details, right :twitch. I'll get an email out to everyone as soon as possible.

I just talked to Jason Benson who is the overall organizer of the event. His number is: 770-826-7353. He said to feel free to call him with any questions about the contest.
From our conversation I gathered that an email was supposed to be sent out yesterday but there may have been some sort of issue because quite a few teams did not receive it. In terms of setup, he said we are welcome to arrive anytime after tomorrow afternoon; however power will not be guaranteed until late Thursday or early Friday morning. They are having permanent power ran in by the power company to avoid the use of generators.
The teams will be somewhat shielded from the late night after party. This after party will be held in a building and will be about 50 yards from the closest team. There is a fence and a guard that will be in place to help avoid random people wandering through out sites overnight. Very nice guy and I'm glad I got some information because I was getting super nervous.

any idea of schedule cooks meeting, awards ect.
