re: The 2014 Dawgrant Rib-off: Enrollment Closed..................

Makes sense to me.

This is bbq we're talking about. And the rural areas obviously deserve more of a say.

Just like if this was a "craft beer" homo-pageant, then you might want to flip the COunty Unit SYstem and do the opposite.....and have the urban areas get more votes than the rural areas.


I leave it up to the competitors to decide.....

How can one physically eat these ribs? Is that a possibility?

---

Yes. Compete, and then eat your own when they're done.

Or......learn from these brave pit-masters as they compete, and try out some of their tricks and methods on your own ribs at a later date.


This is an educational opportunity for all.

Perhaps the competitors send in our materials to Jefferson and have him post them - that way, there's no cliquish bullshite manipulating the votes. Let the ribs stand alone.

---

not competing but this should probably happen. I'll be voting and I don't want to be swayed by bias.

I say keep it as simple as possible.

I don't mind open judging, also blind judging is cool but it's prolly too complicated unless 'damn good dawg' comes up with a way to have anonymous user names or something

I agree.

Half of the whole point anyway is to simply have a thread where people are smoking ribs simultaneously, talking shite, and having a few laughs along the way, while cars go round and round at Talladega at over 200 mph. Everyone has strong opinions and philosophies, and so it could be hilarious, and good clean fun. And also, educational.

If some cooks want to blog about certain phases of the cook along the way, like deeprig9 and Christopher have done in the past, great. If others don't, so be it.

Then in the end, by a certain deadline, we'll have each cook post a final presentation of the finished product in a separate thread...........and then leave the thread up for 24 hours or something like that asking for votes.

Everyone that agrees to vote should understand their Responsibility as Georgians.....and vow to place that vote.......... based on nothing personal, but solely on which cook has, in their opinion, most successfully honored the sacred and righteous tradition of smoking pig ribs while getting drunk. The End.


Rib-off, Mother frickers............

Yes, i meant to mention a Competitor's Choice award in my above diatribe

quote:

---

Open or blind judging, it doesn't matter to me.

I don't think there's any realistic way to do it blind...We're really just making this shite up as we go anyway.

If we frick up and blow it...... we can make adjustments for Rib-off 2.0

dick. dog. dick.

This is bugging me. What is this saying? You're the only person I've ever seen use it.

So Jefferson can you give us a summary on all of this and why can't this even be stickied up at the top of the page.
