Off the trail for 2 years, then back at Jack Daniel's World Championship Shade Tree Contest (BACKYARD) (JUDGES FULL) (2019-10-25).
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.
SMOKEY ADAMS BAR-B-Q has 1 rated contest — 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 106 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.
Fewer contests behind them than SMOKEY ADAMS BAR-B-Q has cooked, 5 to 9, which makes theirs the less settled rating of the two.
