However, the cash and merchandise totals are subject to sponsor participation. As such, they are not totally predictable until late in the season. Therefore, the award totals and distribution may be changed at any time prior to the final contest date but will be finalized 30 days prior to the final contest.

Qualifying:

The Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series consists of the four KCBS Sanctioned Contests in Ohio. These contests are considered to be Qualifiers and the highest three overall point totals won at these contests will be used to select the Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series Champion. If a team cooks all four events, their highest three scores will be counted.

The head cook of each cook team must be a KCBS member. 

A team must cook at at least three contests to be considered for the Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series Champion.

In the event of a tie, the accumulated brisket category points won at these contests will be used to select the Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series Champion.  If a tie still occurs the accumulated ribs category points, then the pork category points, and chicken category points will be used until a point’s advantage is determined for the Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series Champion.
