As stated below. The test has some really tricky questions and some that have nothing to do with judging a contest. BBQ yes but judging a contest no.
I took the test last fall. I passed 1st time, but you can fail. I know a few that have failed. If you fail 3 times you have to take the class again from what I understand.

4) Take a test, answering obscure esoteric questions about situations that arise while judging BBQ that only a seasoned veteran would know the answers to.

I think that's about it.

I am also hoping to become a certified Table Captain one day - but I'm going to try to take it one step at a time.
