From the NEBS stie:

" Around 1991, the New England Society for Wood Cookery was formed. In 1994, the Wood Cookery Society became The New England Barbecue Society, a stable, fiscally responsible, not-for-profit, group of dedicated BBQ cooks and consumers. "

It started as a group who used wood to cook, and eventually adopted the KCBS format for the BBQ contests. which is the reason I think that the scores are combined. As for judges, the grilling I would guess has the same % certifed judges as the BBQ-- so I don't think there is a huge fall off in the level there.

I understand your point, but if you look at team rankings, and look at scores from any KCBS contest in NEBS, the list is going to be pretty close. There aren't teams just doing grilling contest to get points...
