NEBS – New TOY System in Place
NEBS is pleased to announce our new automated Team of the Year system. We have always used a spreadsheet that was manually updated to calculate our Team of the Race and it was a very labor-intensive process. As a
result, TOY updates were few and far between, creating frustration for our members.
Our new system automatically calculates NEBS Team of the Year results using both NEBS and KCBS data. In addition, the system is both interactive and transparent, allowing teams to browse regional contest results, their own results, and team rankings. Members can see how all the standings are calculated, allowing for easy and early correction of in- correct results. On top of all that, the system works well on all screen sizes, including mobile devices.
You can see our new Team of the Year system yourself
at NEBS.org/TOY

The new interactive system includes results from 2018 on. Prior results are still available on the NEBS website.
We would like to thank:
• KCBS for making contest data available to regional BBQ societies
• BBQData.com for providing us with the KCBS feed
• PowerFluence for building the Salesforce Lighting Appli- cation
