LOOT N' BOOTY BBQ ahead in 100% of their meetings
LOOT N' BOOTY BBQ has come out ahead in 4 of their 4 shared contests.
Off the trail for 2.3 years, then back at Slab-O-Rama Barbeque Challenge (2018-01-19).
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.
Trailer Hood BBQ 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 115 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.
One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team Trailer Hood BBQ has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
⚔ 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-headThey turned up 7 years after Trailer Hood BBQ did, first appearing in 2020.
