    Hey Tuffy great video, this was my fourth year to get to judge and second time as on site judge. Last year it was on site whole hog and this year RIBS. One of my on site teams "Burnt Fingers" placed 8th and last year one of my on site whole hog teams placed fourth. Wife and I always enjoy the awards and we even made it into this video. We are about 10ft to the right of Big Moe when they called his team on stage for there win in shoulder. Congrads to Kendal Adair and his Smoked and Spiced team for placing 4th in shoulder. 🤩

    Amateur smokers here from Hudson Valley NY. Hoping to attend one event this year as a "vacation". Would this be the event you would go to or is there another competition/ expo that you could recommend. We've done 2 KCBS comps so far as a team of husband and wife only. 1st one we didn't come in last, 2nd one, out of 66 teams we took 12th in brisket. Then came covid and there went all of our local competitions.

Personally I’d like to see it at a mud island that’s been turned into a festival ground and let west Memphis get in on it as well with events on both sides of the river and a ferry service going in between.

    @@frankmorris7751 OK. How do you qualify? Can only the champions of their country compete? Are only National Teams allowed? Do you have to go through tryouts etc.. I am from Germany and not familiar with the qualification rules. A world championship, to my understanding is, one national team of each country that qualified in tryout stages to make it to the contest. Not a bunch of BBQ-Enthusiasts paying fee and compete by the way. BUT, there is no doubt, that all these teams are masters of their trade and role models to all of us, who like good BBQ. That's for shure!

    @LT75 According to this video, the teams are down to 150. They booted very good teams because they changed the park in a way that couldn't support the 300 plus teams that would normally compete. I'm not sure who decides now, but the last time I entered Exotic Meats Ancillary, there were over 270 entries in that side competition. As far as qualifying? Everyone was invited. Our team of non-pro cookers took two top 5 sauces, a top 10 chicken, and I got 13th in EM. Don't discount the level of competition just because any team can join. The BBQ curcuit is a serious thing in the South, and MIM used to be the best of the best for competition and for one big massive party. My point is MIM will never be the same, and the limited spaces eliminated lots of really good cooks.
