Thats the way it should be judged and is the way I was taught at my CBJ class.

Guy - What I mean is that when I look at a slice of brisket and determine if it "looks" appetizing, one of the things I consider is how tender/tough, moist/dry tough it "looks". Tom me, the brisket in question "looks" like it could have been cooked longer and may require a knife to break the meat apart rather than be able to pull it apart somewhat easily by hand or chew off a piece easily.
Two people can look at the same entry and see two totally different things. That's what makes competing in BBQ contests somewhat of a gamble.
You're 2nd place brisket looks good, but it's probable that the same brisket could have not placed as well at a different judges table.
