Full Fledged Farker
At the majority of the comps I've judged (mostly West Coast), the reps have distributed judges to each table according to experience. Typical practice is to line us up by contests judged and number us off. At the last two (Sam's Regional and USA BBQ), however, we came in, sat with our friends expecting to be moved, but it never happened. Frankly, it surprised me, given the stature of the contests.
It would seem that that could lead to possible disparities in scores if a bunch of rookies sat together. My question is this: Is there a standard operating procedure in this area for the reps?
