FAQs
Q: If I’m on Team XYZ through Nevada BBQ Association but competing in a KCBS under a different team name, will that count towards team of the year?
A: No. Points will be recorded based on the team registered as a Nevada BBQ team.
Q: Can multiple team members cook an SCA and have their points recorded?
A: A team may earn points once per category, per competition. If multiple team members cook at an SCA, the score of the highest scoring team member in each category will be used towards TOY standings.
Q: If I sign up now for NVBBQA now, will my points count from competitions earlier in the year?
A: Points earned within the month you sign will count towards your TOY standings. For example, if you join in March, any points earned in March will count but points from February or earlier will not.
