It is the intent of The Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series to provide a cash and or merchandise awards to The Triple Crown Champion. 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 three KCBS Sanctioned Contests in Ohio. These contests are considered to be Qualifiers and the accumulated overall points won at these contests will be used to select the Ohio BBQ Triple Crown Series Champion.

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

A team must cook at all 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.

Prize Pool:

The Triple Crown of Ohio BBQ prize pool currently consists of $500 cash plus an assortment of Patter Fam sauces. We will continue to increase the prize pool as we are able throughout the season.
