I'm a bit late to this party, and I'll admit I skimmed through some of the posts, but I had a few things I thought I should say:

In post #7, it was stated that none of the candidates in "the ticket" stand to gain from contest assignments. Isn't at least one of the candidates an organizer who has publically complained about not having a chance to organize a Sam's Club event? I am in no way trying to say that any one on the ticket would take advantage, but it is certainly possible, isn't it?

There was a lot of talk about judges shadowing cook teams and whether or not it should be required of all judges. Here's a random thought: Why not ask judges on the application: Are you a KCBS competition cook? Have you ever shadowed a KCBS cook team? When was the most recent shadow? Let the organizers play favourites with those judges if they want, just like they can now play favourites with Master CBJs, and then distribute them evenly among tables.

Then, in Post 137, George said that Judge 6 is farthest from the norm. This is not necessarily true. It is very likely that your scores are on the order of 36 33 33 33 33 32. The lowest is statistically more significant than the highest....Maybe I've been writing too many standard deviation routines lately....Maybe STD should be taken into account of tie breakers? (I'm really kidding there!)

Yes, I know Rob. and he needed to cook better in Shelby too.

Yes, changing the weighting does apply to everyone. But my question was have they changed the Appearance weight already. There have been a larger number of ties of late and that is what has me wondering. The reason given for doing it was to eliminate some of the ties, wondering if it has done the opposite.

No, actually had a good cook in Shelby, so, no, didn't need to have a better cook.....but, I did not throw rocks getting out of the parking lot, didn't blame judges, scores, or try to register for another contest to rectify the wrongs that judges did to me....it is not that powerful of a experience in my life......"I took it as "it is what it is"....not hitting the right tables at the right time....no sweats, no worries, and no need to revive judge #6...

I hope KCBS never eliminates garnish. Personally, I think it is fine right where it is.

I think anyone who has worked that hard thruout the year and come out on top deserves the spolls that go with it. You cook a single contest and end up with grand you are in the minority there too. TOY is just one more big contest. Yes, there are some things that might could be done to bring more people into the mix. I like the average idea.

I still say get rid of parsly and we need to cook whole chickens too.

About time that there was some kind of action proposed by these so called candidates...well, actions that mattered any way

I know you did, it was just a joke. But you can still blame the judges, I do, unless I know I screwed it up.

If I ever start competing again my new team will be called "Judge Number 6".

I have a funny story to tell you about orange crocs next time I see you. Not side splitting, but you'll get a chuckle.
