What We Do
The Rocky Mountain BBQ Association started the Rocky Mountain Cup for several reasons. The mission of the RMBBQA is to help promote barbeque cooking and competitions in the Rocky Mountain region, and The Cup helps achieve this by increasing team attendance at Cup events. The idea behind The Cup is to reward consistency and give bragging rights. The team that wins The Cup is the best barbeque team in the Rocky Mountain Region!

Every eligible team at a Cup & Shot Glass contest event will receive points. Points will be awarded based on rank as per the 2010 RMBBQA Cup Calculation Method determined by the RMBBQA Board of Directors. Additionally, teams will be awarded bonus points based on the number of competition teams at the event, divided by 4. While teams are rewarded for doing well in large contests, this system helps to bridge the gap between the smaller and larger events, rewarding teams for their consistency on the competition circuit regardless of event size.
