All,
My team and I competed in the NYC BBQ Cookoff on Staten Island this past weekend. This was our first KCBS event and we placed 18th out of 37 overall. Attached are pic's of our boxes. Judges scores were all over the place and I have no idea how to figure them out. What to improve in?
19th in Chicken
Judge 1_____Judge 2_____ Judge 3_____ Judge 4_____ Judge 5_____ Judge 6
9/8/9 ______ 7/7/7 ______ 6/7/8 ______ 8/8/7 ______ 7/6/6 ______ 9/9/9
These are all over the place. What do I do?
20th in Ribs
Judge 1_____Judge 2_____ Judge 3_____ Judge 4_____ Judge 5_____ Judge 6
8/7/5______ 7/7/7________ 9/9/9 ______8/8/7_______ 9/8/9_______ 7/5/6
how do I get a 5 on tenderness from one judge and a 9 from two others?
11th in Pork
Judge 1_____Judge 2_____ Judge 3_____ Judge 4_____ Judge 5_____ Judge 6
9/7/7______ 9/8/8_______ 9/8/8_______ 7/8/7_______ 9/8/8 _______ 8/7/7
How do I get 9's on appearance from 4 judges and antother gives me a 7?
19th in Brisket
Judge 1_____Judge 2_____ Judge 3_____ Judge 4_____ Judge 5_____ Judge 6
8/8/8 ______ 7/6/6______ 9/8/9_______ 8/7/6_______ 8/6/6_______ 8/8/8
All over the place. I'm not surprised by this one. The sliced brisket was over cooked, but the burnt ends were a rediculous flavor bomb going off in one tiny bite.
So, please take a look at what I've posted here. I could really use some direction. Although being in the top 50% I consider to be respectable, I'd like to get into the top 3rd of competition consistantly.
Thank you!
