Questions
The team plan is open now. Member and Judge accounts open as we finish sign-up with an email and a password, or Google or Microsoft. Tell us you want one and we will write when it opens.
Judges, a team’s Pitmaster and reps do: it is how we know you are who you say you are. An ordinary Member does not need one, and neither does anyone else on a team.
Yes. Only a team’s Pitmaster adds or removes people on that team, and the Pitmaster chooses which cooks each person is on.
Extra seats come in packs, and Team Unlimited has no limit. Both are coming; the price of each is announced when it opens.
No. It is built for teams. A judge can add Learn to use the Cook Time Calculator, BBQ Ops University and the smokers, to cook better at home.
Only a rep or an organizer, by invitation. You apply, we check who you are, your credentials and the contest you run, and then you can bring in volunteers for that contest only.
