2025 FBA TOTY Awards & One-Day Contest

Registration

• Judge Lottery Sign-Up
  To register you must be either a FBA Certified BBQ Judge or FBA Certified Master BBQ Judge. By registering, you are not guaranteed a judging spot. Your name will be put into the list of Judges that will have their names placed on the final RANDOMIZED list. The Lead Rep will use this list to select the first 28 judges in order. The Lead Rep does have the latitude to alter this list for a small number (5 or less) judges reaching milestones (i.e. Master status, 50 judgings, etc.). These judges will be placed at the top of the list and then the Lead Rep will proceed with the selection as stated above. Additional judges will then be selected in order from this list as needed. Guest signups are limited to certified FBA Judges with current FBA memberships. You may sign-up your spouse, domestic partner or family member residing at the same address as a guest. You may not sign-up your buddy across town, your sister in another city etc. If you have any question on if you can sign someone up as a guest, please do so before signing them up. If you signup someone that does not meet these requirements your registration will be removed.
