This will modify the entry of score for such a DQ to provide for scores of 1’s in all criteria. This will not change how specific DQ’s are handled as published in the 2008 KCBS Rules and Regulations.

Merl,

How will this work? If I enter a contest and only turn-in chicken and no other categories will my score for the other categories be 20 (1's in all areas from 5 judges)? Will this change in scoring be efftive 1/1/09 or now in the middle of the year? What was the reason for this change?
