C-N-S scoring

Captian-N-Smoke overall scoring-

[lcruzen]

The judging part has me totally confused. 6 portions for 30 judges? Your score sheet shows Judges 1-6. Does all of your turn in boxes go to a certain table of judges? How does this work scoring against the other tables with different tastes/opinions? What was meant by 28% CBJ? Out of the 30 judges only about 9 were certified? Do judges get piad for comps?

Ok, I'll shut up now.

Ahh the mysteries of the "JUDGING"!
I don't know if ANYONE knows, Lou...but here's my take.

Yes indeed..not every judge gets every entry. I don't know if it's broken down by table or not... and there is no "fudge factor" involved on different tables/judges... perhaps our ribs would have been scored better by a different judge than #4 who killed our 1 or 2 place finish with ribs.

Good question I dunno WHAT the CBJ% is

I am not sure about being paid... I'm prtty sure they get travel expenses if cert'd. The KCBS assigns them to particular comps.

CBJ is the percentage of certified judges at the event. Obviously this number was very low here and it shows on my scorecard....numbers all over the place.

I'd say by your scores Rich, you got some good judging!

They're not paid in any way, they do it for the love of the sport (and free BBQ!)

When 6 turn in boxes are brought up, they all go to ONE table so theres a chance you may get a good table of judges or not.

Judging is one of those things that are completly out of your hands. You just do the best you can and hope the BBQ gods are looking upon you!

[Capt Dan]

Bubba explained it pretty well in a nutshell!

Just think if we woulda done one of them circular lettuce in the middle thingies!

LOL, it is what it is, and I had a good time,lotsa laughs,good people to visit with, getting to play with food with a couple really great guys,and then the chaos and excitement of turn in time.

It's alot more fun than an allnighter at home by myself for petes sake!

Here are a couple things that stand out in my memory from the event.

Help from many comp teams, and myself trying to help some other first timers too.

How cool and collected and stress free Troy Conner is at all times. That guys cracks me up, and he is always thinkin about tastes and new stuff.

The great spread that the GLBBQA members put out to feed the teams,

and when ya go to the Rubbed , sauced, and smoked camp, ya better be on yer toes, cuz the last lier don't stand a chance over there!

Pretty fun way to spend a weekend.

That's gospel, Dan...written in stone somewhere!

And I'd wonder at any less!

So does this indicate a lack of CBJ's in this area or did the event not do a real good job of recruiting? Who do they get to judge when short CBJ's? Just any Joe Blow off the street?

See what happens? I visit for a few hours and I want to dissect the whole process. Maybe judging is in my future.

Not sure... but we could have donated Geoff for judging...he's certified

Alot of times local personalities will judge... sooo yeah about any Joe Blow. I don't know the figger but there is a certain %CBJ's they need for a valid contest result.

Check out the KCBS website Lou- there's judging classes all over.

One very good example of "Celebrity" judges is Taste of Grand Rapids. Only 58% CBJ with the rest being "Celebrities" from Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas. Missed this year, but the last 2 or 3 years had about the same % with the rest local DJs, news people, etc.
