Memphis Barbecue Network does any one have any experience with this group as an organization?

http://www.mbnbbq.com/

they supposed to be supporting a smoke competition in smithfield va the weekend of june 25-27. it is not currently not listed anywhere on thier site and the local promoter is not returning my emails, no enter forms anywhere. that never a good sign that never a good sign three weeks proir to the event. what is posted on their site is a judging seminar? do we have any MBN judges hanging around here?

they also have posted a state championship smoke in galax va the second week in july

just looking for some insight
