12 Month Progress for a New Team
So I pulled out the score sheets from my first contest a year ago and the most recent one. Although there is more for me to learn, I am pretty happy with what my fellow competitors here have taught me.
I thought I'd post a comparison of the scores to start with. If anyone wants, I can also post the progression of pictures for various categories. Hudson Valley '06 followed by New Holland '07 Chicken: (HV) 5-6-7, 6-7-8, 6-6-6, 7-7-7, 6-7-7, 6-7-7 (136) (NH) 9-8-9, 8-8-8, 8-8-8, 8-9-9, 8-8-8, 8-9-8 (167.4286) rib: (HV) 7-6-5, 7-6-7, 8-7-6, 8-7-7, 7-7-5, 6-6-7 (132.5714) (NH) 9-7-9, 7-7-9, 6-5-7, 7-7-9, 8-7-8, 8-7-6 (149.1424) shoulder: (HV) 7-8-7, 9-7-7, 8-6-6, 8-7-7, 8-9-8, 7-7-7 (150.285 ) (NH) 7-8-7, 7-7-8, 8-8-8, 8-7-6, 8-5-5, 9-9-9 (149.142 ) brisket: (HV) 7-5-5, 8-7-5, 8-7-4, 8-7-6, 7-7-5, 8-5-5 (126.2860) (NH) 9-9-9, 8-6-7, 8-7-8, 8-7-6, 8-5-5, 9-9-9 (155.4284) And I know my scores actually went down in pork shoulder but I haven't really focused on the pork categories yet. I figure one category per contest and grow from there.

Clint,
You have done a wonderful job. You should be commended for doing this well with only a year's experience and having only a few contests under your belt. Great Job! Keep it up!

Thanks, guys. It's tough fighting to find enough people to lend a hand each contest but I was blown away to see those photos. I"ll post the pork pix as well but they still suck.

Nice job Clint.. .big improvement and it also goes to show that the scoring system does work if used as designed. Not that the first contest pics were not good but your recent entries were noticeably improved from an appearance standpoint and the scoring showed it.

Here's the pork. Not as exciting but it's part of the growth process so I'll include it.

Your brisket from HV last year looks medium rare.
Nice progress, the competition next year is going to be tough! |

Clint, it's fun to go back and look at boxes early and more recent ones. Here's my best example... Pork from my first contest (Royal, 2005) vs. the 2nd photo which is pork three weeks ago at Dillon, CO.

That was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever cooked. Glad you noticed. I had no temp control, no idea when things should be done, and just wanted to finish. Sliced right through the point and flat and turned it all in, fat be damned. Funny now to think about how pissed I was when I saw the scores!

That second one is pretty darn impressive, Jeff. Funny how perfect they seem at that moment, huh?
