CBA Kids Que Division Overview

Objective: The Champions Barbecue Alliance (CBA) aims to provide young participants the opportunity to engage in competitive cooking, mirroring the structure of the adult division.

Protein Selection: Promoters are required to select one protein from the following options for each event:

Chicken (wings) – Pork (pork chop) – Beef (steak)

Should promoters opt for a protein outside these three, the event will be classified as a jackpot (open) and will not contribute to the points chase.

Event Administration: The Kids Que will be organized by the promoter, who retains the authority to finalize the chosen protein for their respective event.

Points System: The Kids Que points chase will align with the CBA points structure, running from December 1 to November 30 annually. To be eligible for points, participants must pay an annual membership fee of $25. This membership provides access to tracking points and standings throughout the competition year.

Divisions: Competitors will be classified into two age divisions:

Junior Division: Ages 6-11

Senior Division: Ages 12-17

Participants will be placed in a division based on their age as of December 1 of the competition year.

Competition Guidelines: Participants must prepare entries sufficient for six judges. The following specifications apply:

No garnish allowed. Foil must be placed at the bottom of the tray.

These guidelines ensure uniformity with the adult division’s standards, promoting a consistent competition experience.
