      And in this instance, the ribs would be downgraded for being over cooked.
      which as they weren't necessarily overcookd - is a definite flaw in the kcbs system.

      The biggest problem I see with the kcbs is simply that it's trying to get everybody to cook exactly the same product.
      Kinda just beats the crap out of any individuality.

      Have to admit if I were ever to do a comp (and it's unlikely) the ibca (yeah the habitual american use of the word 'international' always makes me laugh) format would seem to offer more scope for the cook with their own style.
      Plus I never put sauce on cooked food - I don't cook dry food and there's always sauce for personal choice.

      There are kcbs clone comps in the uk. Too bloody expensive for me and I don't have a portable smoker at the moment anyway.
      I'm just not all that gone on the whole uniformity approach of the kcbs system. Or that the sauce is almost more important than the meat.

      I can see why it's evolved the way it has, the more money that's involved in any sport the more regulated that sport becomes.

      I guess both sytem have their plusses and minusses. And it's good to see that their are two different styles of bbq comp around

        I cook in IBCA and TGCBCA events and they are great. One thing is since it is a blind judging event you know everyone is on the same playing field. Everyone has to turn in the same pieces of meat and no garnish. This is BBQ it should be about the food not the decor right. You have to be able to cook both breast and thigh your ribs better be tender because the judge can not pick them up. It does not cost me an arm and a leg to compete and I can win on my drums. I will see you in Meridian and will be at the event in Spring Texas on Labor day. Anyone has any questions about ICBA give me a PM and I can give you the low down.

                Make sure your chickens has wing tips if the wing tips are cut off they will disqualify you. 7 slices of brisket fat on or fat off no burnt ends. and seven spare ribs. judge can not touch any of the meat except with a fork and knife (plastic). Make sure you season under the skin of the chicken the events I have judged you would be surprised how many people pull back the skin and cut from the breast.
