Hey all, the Early Bird Deadline for this event has been extended
until this coming Monday, February 20th, 2012.

The cost until then is just $200.

This is for the Havasu Landing Resort & Casino BBQ Championship.
$7500 Prize fund with FULL RV Hookups at no additional cost. Not too
bad a deal.

We have some great trophies being made up for it and we will have some
great incentives & prizes out there as well. You don't want to miss
this.

Great part is that it's during Spring Break week, so bring the family
& come enjoy a great, fun event.

This one is on the California side of Lake Havasu.

They do have RV's & trailers you can rent out there if you do not have
your own RV, check out their web site for more info.
http://www.havasulanding.com/

E-mail me for more info.

Also, if you compete in the March 2nd & 3rd Surprise BBQ Festival, you
could be entered into a chance to win $100 back at the Havasu event.
So, your total cost could be as little as $100.

Then, we have the State vs. State challenge going on. If we get at
least 5 teams from a state, they will be included in the challenge.
We take the top 5 placing teams overall and the state with the best
Top 5 scores wins an additional $500 to split. That would be $100 per
team for a total cost of just ZERO!!..

Get your registrations in today as the price goes up to $275 on
Tuesday. Don't miss out.

Hope to see all of you out there.

James Sulivan is having a little trouble posting he says

I was looking to add something about the people’s choice.
I am going to bump the price money by $250 for the people’s choice winner at this event.

Today is the last day for the Early Bird Registration. Just $200 today which includes Full RV Hookups.

$7500 Prize fund, BCS Sanctioned.

Hope to see lots of you out there. It's going to be a great event.

Havasu Landing RV Resort is on the California side, so it would be great to see more California teams attending & competing..

[Bill Hoggarth]

Is there a list of entered teams yet?

[Michael Reimann]

Not yet, we will post the team list about 2 weeks out. Lots of great teams coming. Should be a fun event. Get signed up today.

Interested in judging? E-mail Judge@BarbequeChampionshipSeries.org to get confirmed.

[Michael Reimann]

I was reminded that yesterday was a Holiday & thus, no mail delivery.

So, that give you an extra day, today to get your registration in at the Early Bird Pricing.

Hope to see lots of you out here.

$7500 Prize fund, FULL RV Hookups, Live Band & party on Friday night. Plus lots of other great things going on.

Just $200 to enter until Midnight tonight, so get those registrations in & save some $$$.

Once we get 15 teams, it will be a Jack Qualifier, so come on out & see if you can get that GC & Jack Draw.

[Michael Reimann]

Got a few more entries in the mail today. We are almost at 15 making it a qualifier. Get your entry in today if you are coming.

$7500 in Prize money, FULL RV Hookups, Live band on Friday & Saturday & just lots of fun.

Havasu Landing & Casino are really going all out to put on one amazing event. Hope to see more of you signing up for this.

At 15 teams it becomes an "Official California State Championship" event, which means our GC will get their name put into the drawing for the Jack. You don't want to miss out on that.

Get registered today!!

[Michael Reimann]

We are looking for one more vendor for out at this event as well. Must compete in comp to be considered. Let me know if any of you are interested.

$7500 over a small field
Sounds like Stagecoach One $10,000 for what was it 16 teams?

[Michael Reimann]

Yea, I liked it there that year the best. Every team walked & made money. This one will be very similar. Nice field, great prize fund & Spring break in Havasu.

[James Sullivan]

Havasu Landing Resort has booked the band MOJO to play Friday night from 6:30pm-9:00pm and on Saturday from 1:00pm-3:30pm. We will continue to do all we can to make this a great event for everyone involved. We hope to see you here for a great weekend.

[Michael Reimann]

We are almost at 15 teams which will make it a qualifier. Early bird discount is still valid until the end of this weekend. Just $200 to enter. $7500 in prize fund, live music on Friday & Saturday and lots of great things going on out at this event.

Don't miss out, get signed up today!!

[Thom Emery]

We are trying to clear the weekend so that we can be there

[Michael Reimann]

Still need a few more teams to make this a qualifier. Where are the California teams for this event? It's in California, will be a Jack Draw if we get 15 teams, has a $7500 Prize fund, live music on both Friday and Saturday, Full RV Hookups included with your entry. Seems pretty appealing to me.

Hope to see some more of you get signed up for this event.

Tried to talk the team into it but we just have too many comps coming up and they cant get anymore time off work.

[Thom Emery]

Yea mine was similar only open weekend until the end of July

[Michael Reimann]

Hey all, we just had Loot 'N Booty Sign up for this event, we still need about 4 more teams to make it a qualifier. Entry fee is still just $200 until we get to the 15 teams. If you are sending in your registration, please message me or call me to let me know it's on the way.

-$7,500 in prize money for $200 entry
-paying to top 5 overall and each category
-full RV hookups right on the lake
-Great practice for California, Vegas, and Sam's Club events
-at 15 teams it is a CA State Championship event, Jack qualifier, and American Royal qualifier
-Chance to get to hang out with Loot 'N Booty!! (this is probably the best reason you should come)

Hope to see more teams there!

We still need two BBQ Vendors for this event. No cost to vend, just your entry fee into the comp. You keep all your profits.

Let me know ASAP if you are able to do this.

[Michael Reimann]

Hey all, Mark & Dorothy from The Hog Pit Smokehouse in Tucson have stepped up to the plate and paid for 2 additional entries into this event this weekend.

They are hoping to make it a qualifier.

Now we just need teams to fill them.

If you are interested in competing this weekend in Havasu. We have 2 fully paid entries.

Thanks Mark & Dorothy & the Hog Pit Smokehouse for all of your support.

Please response & let me know ASAP if you and your team are interested. It's first come, first serve.

This is ONLY available to teams who have NOT signed up and registered yet as they want to make this a qualifier & get enough teams.

That's a lot of money out of their pockets. Thanks guys!!!
