La Costena Jalapenos in Georgia
Wild Bill Myers
like the St. Patty's day showdown? No competition points, but the
quantities count? The event was not on the competition schedule, and
no one was aware of it except the local eaters. I thought the ruling
was that if the contest was not open to everyone, no points would be
awarded. And yes, I *know* it WAS open to anyone walking by, but no
one else knew about it.
Thoughts, anyone?

was wondering the opposite: if we shouldn't go ahead and give points
for St. Patty's. Originally I didn't because the IFOCE was still
being good about awarding points regularly, but we've kind of hijacked
that since then and done our own thing with points for qualifiers and
such. I wouldn't award points for singular exhibitions still, but
maybe if the exhibition is a showdown between several eaters we should
award points and contest credits. There is another La Constena
jalapeno contest on the 16th, though...shouldn't they be counted the
same? I don't know! I'll defer to the popular opinion.

Ok, so we assign points for this, and the St. Patrick's showdown, and
that circumvents any discussion about points being awarded (yes) for
the upcoming Spike contest. I concur.

Steakbellie what are you smokin'?!? What sticky is icky? But now that
you brought it up, what's up with these fathers of young children that
have to "play fair" to teach them "life lessons"? Puh-leaze! :)
