The Texas BBQ Forum

This poll has to with participation.

Poll question edited for clarity 11/03/2007

Obviously at voting time the identity should not be linked with the entry..
But otherwise good to know who participates (or not ).

Great point! The question has to do with the 2nd through whatever placements.

Thanks for clarifying in that case:
If you enter you automatically get a mention (and what place you got) ... that should get some friendly banter happening after the results are made public! Especially for wooden spooners like myself!

I agree with Paul knowing the competitors and chit chat patty wack is where the fun is.

I agree too, and also I have not always voted for the winner, so I would like to know who I did vote for to congratulate them on a nice entry.

This is a confusing question. I think all entries need to be anonymous, so judging is based on the food, not personalities. Once voting is done, I like having the entries identified, so we know who cooked what.

That said, I don't necessarily mind knowing who entered before the votes. I just don't want to know exactly what they entered.

Good point, I've edited the question. To date we've only published who won each category and who won the MVP. We haven't said who came in 2nd, 3rd...last, in each category.
