BULL MARKET BBQ ahead in 100% of their meetings
BULL MARKET BBQ has come out ahead in 4 of their 4 shared contests.
Off the trail for 2.7 years, then back at 9th Annual Santa Anita Winners' Circle BBQ Championship (2022-04-01).
The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
One Pit Wonders has 4 rated contests — short of the five it takes to earn a power ranking — so this rating has barely moved off the 1500 every team starts on and 145 rated teams sit within a point of it. Read the list as the nearest company at a number nobody here has moved far from, not as a verdict on who this team belongs with.
Careers of much the same size, 5 contests to 4, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-headLevel with One Pit Wonders on power rating, which is the whole reason they're on the list.
⚔ Head-to-headThey've been 1510 at their best, 43 points above where they sit today — they're arriving at this rating from above.
⚔ Head-to-headCareers of much the same size, 5 contests to 4, so neither rating has had more chance to settle than the other.
⚔ Head-to-headA longer road to the same neighbourhood — 6 contests to 4.
⚔ Head-to-headTheir last contest in the data was back in 2019, 3 years before One Pit Wonders's most recent — their rating stopped moving when they stopped cooking.
