SANCTIONING AN EVENT

“Sanctioning” means to following a specific set of rules.  In the case of Lone Star Barbecue Society (LSBS) it means promoters and cooks following the rules we have set forth.

LSBS, a non-profit organization, is interested in helping other non-profit groups by providing them with a method to earn money to benefit their charities.

LSBS will provide you with a customized mailing list to cover the area around your city from 100 to 150 miles out.

We will provide a Head Judge who runs the judging area.  Most of our Head Judges are married to competition cooks. These cooks will be participating in the event. If a Head Judge is not part of a competition team you will be asked to provide lodging and reimbursement for gas. These are rare occasions and we would advise in advance.

  SANCTIONING

LSBS recommends that you purchase a Promoter’s Manual ($15). This manual will take you through most of the things you will encounter before and during a cookoff.

Other charges: You will pay for supplies (at cost; we do not make any money on these items) used during the cookoff; i.e. turn in trays for the cooking teams and cups for beans.

Please remember that it is YOUR cookoff! We will run your judging which let’s the cooks know it is fair however, everything else, i.e.  the Master of Ceremony and individuals to hand out the awards and pull the tickets from the trays is  your responsibility. We prepare the winners list for you. We are an advisory body to help you and offer whatever advice you may need.
