On appearance scoring
Appearance is the only part of KCBS scoring that we can render (imperfectly) through a computer screen, so it gets a lot of press.
I am not a CBJ, just a sometime competitor. However, I do have opinions (naturally) on some of the more common items related to appearance scores, what the CBJs are taught, and how much is left to personal preference. So, for you KCBS CBJs:

To me I would say juding appearance is a little like looking at art from the Great Masters, I think the work of Pablo Picasso borders on absurd, but he is considered one of the greats. Give me the realistic work of Ansel Adams over Picasso anyday! Only my opinions, I would have to ask my wife if I am right or wrong. If I ask my daughter I know I will be wrong.

G$,
I am one week removed for taking my second KCBS Judges class in three years. This one was in New Holland, PA and the instructer was Don Harwell. I have been an active judge since I took the class the first time three years ago. My wife took it with me this time, and it was for her sake that I took it again. I will answer your question in two ways, blue from what I remember from the class and green from what I think goes on in the tent (from personal experience and talking to other judges). So, for you KCBS CBJs:

Even at BBQ Critic (which I really enjoy checking out) some of the judges make comments that I just shake my head at. And just like at the judges table, there are scores given on BBQ Critic that range from 5 to 9 on the same sample. Since we are all human, we all have a variety of standards, and we apply these different standards to our scoring.

I get the feeling a lot of the folks on BBQ critic get a kick out of pointing out as many little things as possible..although a good tool for a cook to fine tune their boxes.. I really hope some of these folks aren't judging boxes at a comp.

I only judged once last year after taking the judging class and the KCBS reps heavily stressed to only judge what is put into the box and to "stop trying to out think the cooks". I found a brisket box on bbqcritic where the brisket turn in was pulled and pretty much every comment was on how the cook must have screwed up and couldn't turn in slices. I hope the reps keep stressing that at competitions.

No. I do remember the #2 pencil comment. I don't think it was a mentioned as a judging critera, but I believe it was referenced. No. No. Yes. No.
