Our son just became a CBJ. I'd feel queasy about competing in the same venue where he was judging. However, I don't know the specific rule, and I'd like to now that this has come up.

What if a boyfriend is competing while his girlfriend is judging? No documented family relationship there to enforce, but the same appearance of impropriety. At the very least, there's a familiarity with food product/flavor profile that an otherwise unrelated judge would not have.

I've seen the discussion dismissed by saying that the likelihood of one judge getting the related party's food is minimal and normally wouldn't occur in more than one category, if then, but that's not a distinct ruling. I don't think it's a dumb question, I just think most of us don't have the occasion to ask it.
