Hi all, I already know the answer to this but I am hoping somebody can steer me in the right direction for a buddy of mine while i wait for an "official" email.
Here is what we are disputing, we are both KCBS certified judges though in different areas. Specifically what we are arguing about is chicken, he says it doesnt matter if there are 2 legs, 2 wings, and 2 thighs or any combination as long as there are 6 pieces. I say there has to be a specific amount of the same thing to be judged, I mean how can Judge 1 judge a leg and Judge 6 judge a wing at the same table. I would think this would be a disqualification or at least a 1 from the judges that did not get the main thing. His argument is that if there is an equal number then they have to judge what is presented. He has said this is how they are instructed at the judges meetings but this seems to go completely against what I was taught by Mike Lake.
If somebody knows exactly where to steer me to correct him or heaven forbid me please let me know. I couldnt find the exact example so i sent an email and am waiting for a response but being Friday may not hear anything for a while.
He also seems to try to steer competitors from using garnish, where I say watch your scores if you dont even though you are not supposed to score on the garnish, and we all know that NEVER happens :crazy:
One of us needs a refresher course, and he is a great guy but I hope its him.
