Thanks all!
Good class. Merl focused on submerging personal feelings and judging per the rules. Two things really stuck above the rest: Don't be the 'BBQ Police' and look for the good, and DO THE COOKER NO HARM. Good words. After the first round of judging I started to to realize I scored on the high side.
And yeah, one of the last classes, possibly, from Merl & Carol. Sad. It's just BBQ, right!?

Congratulations! When you judge, always remember that the cooks who put the stuff in front of you put in a lot of "blood, sweat, and tears" to get it there. They deserve your total attention and adherence to the rules. Now -- Have fun!!!

Did you get your cooler yet?
Bought a new 48-quart one with wheels on all corners, and chrome, and...
Thanks, bro! As a matter of fact he did explain the difference between pork collars and the cuts that were legal. Cutting edge stuff.
Thanks, dad!
I feel...different. Now we're empowered to drive hundreds of miles for no chance at a payout, find our own lodging, get no pre-turn in taste tests, have no all-day conversations...I'd better stop! :-D It does feel great.
Right on, Hub. Having had the privilege of cooking at a few comps I know just what you mean. I think the requirement to cook with a team before getting your master's certificate is very smart on the society's part.

Glad you guys enjoyed it. I sat through a CBJ class yesterday taught by Mike Lake, and he hit the same points about not trying to be bbq police and about the pork collar.
It was a good class and opened my eyes on what new judges think.
