So what would be your criteria for a Professional Judge? Would KCBS Masters’ qualifications be enough for you? Somebody who has put in the time to judge 30+ contests, passed an exam, and cooked with a team not enough?

Don't want to speak for Dennis, but I believe he is also looking for Standards...
Dennis, didn't a well known pitmaster/cbj/promoter/organizer, who shall remain nameless..., once tell you a few years back that it was a "slippery slope" ?

I’m still trying to understand why they have/need an Executive Director and a CEO

The only thing I can figure is like England has a Queen and a Prime Minister. One is a figure head and one truly rules, and in KCBS the Queen rules.

Several things
After 14 years of competing and judging, I have chime in on this excellent thread.
The KCBS DOES need to give the CEO the ultimate power and quit meeting once a month passing rules that offer nothing. Cook teams need to STOP expecting 9's on every entry they make. The judges are well versed on excellent BBQ and really do not need retraining. I am sick of whining teams bitching about the judges because they do not agree with their scoring. Yep, I judge too and 5 contests shy of being a Master Judge but more importantly, we cook more than we judge. Learn to cook a better product and quit bellyaching. AND, ask yourselves why certain teams consistently place near the top in each category. THAT alone should tell you to cook a better product. IF the BOD really wants a plan of action to set themselves apart from other organizations....start working with local health departments in an effort to end restrictions of pit smoking REAL BBQ, the way it began and should continue. While at it, get them to loosen rules about feeding the public when they attend a cook-off. People get pissed when they come with expectations of tasting competition Q. I expect to be bombarded of why I am wrong, especially from the whiners who beat down the judging....let it begin.....I will enjoy reading but will not respond.....too many other things to do like.....clean out my smoker. |

The issue isn't teams expecting 9's on every turn in. It's teams expecting judges to follow the KCBS rules, not make up their own little tests or trying to "change the system via their judging. What's needed is accountability when judges (and reps) go outside the system and freelance based on their personal opinion. Teams also expect judges to understand and follow the rules AS THEY ARE WRITTEN. Fix those issues and 90% of the problem goes away.
