It also works for me, using Chrome on Windows 7. What device and program did your wife use to find the map? One of the FLL coaches with whom I work had problems with the directions to our tournament in Kearney, MO. Both my computer & Android phone found the location correctly; on her iPhone both following the link in the email and plugging the address in directly took her to some unknown address in Kansas, about 60 miles away from Kearney.

Did you try a different device & get the same results?

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

It's based on location. If you're far enough away from KC, you'll probably get some weird result from Google trying to match nearby businesses. It's telling me that the regional will be at a gas station on the west side of Manhattan. :rolleyes:

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

So after seeing the BBQ discussion on the waterloo regional I was curious what it was for Kansas City seeing we are a great BBQ town.

(If my numbers are correct, 1 mistake already)

GKC has:
2 Championship Division Wins (118-2)
1 4 time chairmans (932)
2 3 time chairmans (118,1987)
1 2 time chairmans (1986)
3 1 time chairmans (1730,1939,3172)
1 11 time winner (118)
1 8 time winner (1986)
1 6 time winner (935)
1 5 time winner (1806)
1 2 time winner (1730)
13 1 time winner (932,938,1775,1802,1810,1984,1987,1997,2345,2410,2 457,3528,3612)

58 teams are attending
62 Win or chairmans blue banners total for BBQ of 1.07 (58/62)
58 2005 and after for Sauce of 1 (58/58)
30 (or 31 not sure) 2011 and after for Briquette of .5 (30/58)

Always fun to play with numbers. ::safety::

Oklahoma Joes is the best of the best!

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

I ate at OK Joe's today at lunch. Very good, but you happen to be wrong ;) -- Jack Stack is the best. Better beans, better sauces. As Neil deGrasse Tyson said last night on The Cobert Report -- Living in a country with free speech allows you to say whatever you want. It doesn't guarantee you are right.

:D :D :D

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

Have to go with JackStack on this one, OK Joes is superb however.

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

OK Joe's is better because it is only a mile from the office :D

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

Haven't looked up the schedule of events yet, just wondering if there is still going to be the Saturday AM Pancakes now that you're at a new venue?

Good Luck to all the teams and can't wait to see teams at St Louis.

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

It is definitely happening again! I feel like it'll be a sad day when there isn't a pancake breakfast.

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

Updated post above. Thanks for the catch. Unfortunately I deleted my data so I am not sure about the briquette value.

It is hard to really compare those values between events IMHO as some events have 60 teams and others 30. Interesting enough if you added 30 teams (total 60) to waterloo with zero wins or chairmans, they would still have a BBQ of 1.95. That event should be epic.

There are many proven winning teams and some up and comers attending GKC. It should be a great event.

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

only in kc do we argue about bbq on CD

All in good fun.

Starting tommorow we will have plenty more to discuss besides kc bbq.

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

I think at least one of the food trucks should be bbq, if not most of them. Someone want to call one of the restaurants up, see if they'll do it? We used to have bbq at Hale Arena, why not now?

Re: 2014 Greater Kansas City Regional
 

There is indeed a breakfast! Here is the information for the KC FRC Social: http://www.kcfirst.org/sites/default...20editable.pdf
