is Blowin Smoke!
Ok, I tossed out the should judges have more training, now how about cook teams....
I know that at the cook's meeting they play the rules for the "new" teams, and anybody that wants to stay and listen can. I know the sample book for turn in boxes is available.... been there done all of that.
Now, what about more "training" for the teams, that are like the judges, on line etc., that in to keep you abreast of the new rules/changes, etc.... what and what not to do with your boxes, etc.... every team has to sign in at KCBS website, to a question and answer "test" say once a year.... a refresher and then also we as cooks can NOT say, "oh, I didn't know that", or "when did that effect".....
I know a LOT of the teams that have cooked for years drag themselves up for the standard cooks meeting, listen to the welcome to our event, etc.... then can't get outta there fast enough.
I think if it is "good" enough for the judges, table captains, reps, etc.... it should have to be good enough for the cook as well.
Thought, good or bad.... throw them out here.....
