Southern Oregon KCBS Comp June 26 & 27

[Battle of the Bones]

Battle of the Bones 2015 will be held on June 26 and 27 in Central Point, OR, exit 33 on the I-5 Freeway (just over the CA border). The KCBS sanctioned BBQ Competition is part of a larger event with free entry, live music, free kids zone, vendors, craft beer and wine. We hold the event at our beautiful Twin Creeks Park and invite you to join us for 2015!

Entry Fee: $200 before April 30 and $250 on or after May 1.
Total Prize Money: $10,050 (includes $2000 GC and $1000 RGC)

People's Choice is optional, and is a great way to get money back in your pocket! You can opt to sample out your left over KCBS meat, or cook specifically for large quantities of PC. About 35,000 samples were distributed in 2014. All samples are worth 1 or 2 tickets, tickets pay 75 cents each out to teams. Example: 2oz of chicken = 1 ticket ; 1 rib = 2 tickets.

I invite you to learn more about our competition either by visiting our website, or calling or email me directly.

Interesting "People's Choice". Surprised KCBS is OK with this? Sure be nice to be able to sell some of the 40 er so pounds of meat one does not turn in.

The People's Choice competition in itself is not "sanctioned" by KCBS, each competitor will turn in their tickets directly to the event finance team for counting. Our prize payouts for People's Choice are low, as the real benefit is getting paid for each sample and bragging rights for teams.

We agree - if you have the left over meat anyways, you might as well get paid to let hungry people eat it!

Anyone who will be offering samples throughout the competition will get a booth space with lots of foot traffic. Any teams who would like to simply sell any left overs will have a booth away from the public, and can use a designated booth to get samples out to the public. This will keep the public from continually asking a team for samples who will not be cooking 1,000+ lbs of meat!

Due to the event selling the tickets, and small sample sizes, the teams will remain unregulated from the health department and thus don't need to purchase any additional permits.

We would love to have you out gmotoman, please let me know if you have any questions.
