Lets start by saying reps are human and they do make mistakes, either on the PC, saying something on the internet and or in person to someone. We all make mistakes, right Bunny????
What has to happen here is we all come together as a team of reps, BOD, judges and cooks. That is what makes KCBS .................... Arlie |

Why was it funny when HoDeDO said he wanted you to wear a spy cam? I know that we have fun on the forum, but this wasn't funny to me. It made us feel that we do something that we don't. That's all.

I took Merl's post as completely tongue in cheek, I think Todd did too... He probably should not have commented given recent history, but I can't imagine that anyone took that post seriously... Regards--Jeff

Rep Advisories have to come from the Board and is sent to the Rep Site where all reps are notified. Bunny

I could be wrong, but I really think that there are a number of topics floating in this tread.
First of all the fact that a Rep used poor judgment in announcing the contents of the winning “AB’ category. Being a relatively new competition cook, 2 years and still learning, I’ve got to believe that Ray is right. My feeling is that the Reps are the all important ‘Referee’. They are the ones making the tough judgment calls on the legality of a box. They are the unsung heroes that sit behind screens (ok, they do come out into the sunlight every now and then) and make sure that it is a level playing field for us cooks. They should not be the announcers of the awards. That is for the organizers, the Reps are the officials. Next we have the question if the BOD should have even spent time listening to the issue, and if that answer is yes, if there needs to be an advisory sent out to all reps regarding the issue. To be honest, I’m surprised that there is not a committee headed up by a BOD member to deal with issues like this. I’m not saying that this committee should be all powerful but rather it should deal with the more mundane issues and bring to the BOD items of more substance. As for whether an advisory needed to be sent out, no, I don’t feel that we need anything that serious. Just a reminder of what a Reps job is (please see item one). Next, we have the issue of photography in the judging tent. While I would love to get a complete set of photos of each winning box ever turned in (I’m just kidding, really, well kinda). I would also be really pissed if I had a presentation that was doing well and now everyone else now had a photo of it. I would also not be happy if pron of my boxes showed up on the KCBS site or in a news paper without my permission. I guess my feeling is that there should be NO photography in the judging tent, none at all. If the media want photos of turn-in boxes they should approach a team directly. Finally, we have the question on whether or not the Reps should be reviewed, re-trained, and/or removed, basically, HR for Reps. To be honest, I don’t know what is being done now. My gut say’s yes, they should be reviewed again by the committee described above but where it goes from there, I really don’t know. If I’m way out of line or misunderstood the issues, I’ll apologize now.

Now the usage by KCBS of such photos is a gray area, and I would hope that the folks in charge of publications would be sensitive to the wishes of any teams involved. |

This year we were blessed to receive 2 - 180s on both occasions we were asked to tell what we had made (by the organizers and NOT the reps) at the awards ceremony. Once was for an AB and the other Dessert. I always give vague answers because I don't want to give out what we do. At one of the comps a picture was taken of me and the 180 entry. It was posted and subsequently I had a conversation with the organizer to take it down. He understood my concerns. He took it down. Thats all it took was a conversation.

I personally dont care if it's announced what is turned in for a AB category. As has been said before, if a "Chocolate Cheesecake" is announced, there are probably many recipes for chocolate cheesecakes. At one competition this year, when the they announced the awards in AB, most said what they turned in. When the winner wouldn't say what was turned in, I actually heard some "BOOS" from the crowd. That was a big surprise to me. I guess I'm on the side of it should be the organizer asking or announcing, not the rep.
