One2BBQ ahead in 100% of their meetings
One2BBQ has come out ahead in 4 of their 4 shared contests.
They've cooked Up In smoke on the Square every year from 2013 to 2016 — the contest they never miss.
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.
Royal Oak 3 Smokin Stooges 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 143 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 Royal Oak 3 Smokin Stooges has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
