Blue hat time... All, Please take this opportunity to help the KCBS better their comment card by offering helpful criticism and advice. This is not to be a dumping ground for your past problems. Candy Sue has asked us for help - let's show her how the Brethren represent. Thanks, Arlin

Like Ron_L said, if there is helpful information on the card, then the card is helpful.
The first comment card I received was for my chicken turn in at my first comp. It read "Perfect bite through skin". Normally, that would be very helpful except that we pulled the skin off of the thighs before saucing to make the chicken marginally edible.

Yes!
Mandatory on scores below six and the pre-set comments would really help a cook dial in a bit quicker.

I only listed an example of some of the possible constructive criticisms that could be included as checkboxes. We felt it would be necessary to have both critical and complimentary options available in addition to a few blank lines where a judge could add their own handwritten comments. The majority of complaints regarding comment cards seems to be that the critical comments themselves often do not point out anything specific that a cook could find helpful and focus them toward an improvement. Very few people complain about complimentary comment cards because, let's face it, when someone writes something like "Best rib I've ever eaten!", who needs more details?!? Examples of complimentary comments could be things like: Excellent Texture Balanced Seasoning Great Appearance Brisk-a-Licious Rib-Tastic ...just to name a few!

I have found the comment cards I have gotten to be helpful, most of the time. I think that what ever would make it simple and quick (check Boxes) for the judges would be ideal.

I would love comment cards , got a 5 in taste a few weeks ago, first 5 ever. No comment card. This judge gave us the only 5 out of the two 8s and two 7s. O well hopeful I won't get a five again.

YES! Answers the question of consistency, but allows for personal tastes to enter the equation.

For us being new to competition it is very helpful to us to have the comment card. We have no idea on what to improve on. We have to shoot from the hip.

We find them very helpful over the course of the season sort of a barometer of how our meats are fairing in the long run. The occasional "off the wall" comment is usually worth a laugh or a few cuss words...lol!

I like the comment cards, I think I think that a well written informative card for either a good or bad entry provides the cook with valuable information.
I also think they can be used as a way to provide valuable information about judges and what their thought process may be and provide for more accountability. Are the cards reviewed by the Table Captains and reps before the teams get them?
