Think of it as a BEER-B-Q! This event is so much more than a Beer festival and a BBQ contest, it’s a Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) sanctioned four meat Championship Series event, a Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue (draw) an American Royal Invitational Qualifier, as well as a Team of the Year (ToY) event for KCBS.

Contestants cook 4 meats:
• Chicken
• Pork Ribs
• Boston Pork Roast (Pork Shoulder/Boston Butt)
• Beef Brisket

Which may be cooked using heat sources of
• Wood
• Pellet
• Charcoal (Lump or Briquettes)

Entries are presented blindly to judges in (provided) 9″ x 9″ (Styrofoam to-go style) containers. They are judged on the following criteria:
• Appearance
• Tenderness
• Taste

Team count will be based on all paid competing teams who make all 4 turn ins, with a score of more than 25 points per entry.
