ZIP Q is a competition barbecue team with 2 Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) contests on record in 2021. They have won 1 Grand Championship, at the GOBS Que (DAY 1) (2021).
These overall scores sit on different scales (Master out of 720, Backyard out of 360), so they're kept separate — averaging them together would be misleading.
