This is such a great opportunity. Unfortunately, I have a new member class at my church on that weekend. I'm going to have to miss it. I know I'll regret missing as I would love to have some ideas about what I'm missing in my comp BBQ.

I will check my schedule tomorrow,this sounds great.

I had so much fun last year that I've gotta come back! I'll be there Friday afternoon & staying overnight. :-D
The way that we did this last year (7 teams, 7 judges, chicky & ribs only) was that the judges were encouraged to wander around & ask the cooks any questions that we wanted to. At about 11 am we were called in for our "judges meeting" while the cooks did up their boxes & got ready for turn in.
After the judging was over each team came into the judging "tent" and each judge read off their scores & why they scored that way. The teams were able to ask the judges any questions that they wanted.
I think that it was very good for the judges to have to defend the scores that they gave and get the feedback / questions from the cooks. The cooks got some answers to the question: "What was that farking judge thinking?" And they asked what they, as cooks, could do to get better scores.
I really think that there should be more of this type of "comp" going on. It's a plus for cooks and judges.

I'd like to join in, but just too much going on for me right now.

Would love to but the wife is planning a vacation that week.
I do like the idea!
