AFLAC Outdoor Games will also host the 2008 Pig Bowl, a National and Local Bar-B-Que contest. The Pig Bowl will be officially sanctioned by Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), a nonprofit organization that has sanctioned almost 300 barbeque contests throughout America. To learn more about KCBS and the competition rules, visit Kansas City Barbeque Society online.

The 2008 Pig Bowl will be divided into a Professional division (that will compete on Saturday, June 28) and an Amateur division (that will compete on Sunday, June 29). There will be four Bar-B-Que categories, Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork and Beef Brisket. Standard team space is 20' x 25'. A second space can be purchased for $25. 110 power and water will be available on a limited basis, first come first serve. All cook teams are to supply their own power source for R/Vs (Generator). A team may compete in one, two, three, or all four categories. There will be a 1st thru 5th place for each category and then a Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion. To be eligible for Grand and Reserve Grand Champion, you must be entered in all four Bar-B-Que categories.

Entry fees: $250 to enter Professional division and $150 to enter the Amateur division. Make checks payable to Columbus Sports Council.

Below there are three registration forms. The two on the left are for the cooks, while the one on the right is for the judges. All applications and checks must be received, by Outdoor Events, no later than June 1, 2008.
