If you could change 1 thing about Competition BBQ. What would it be.

big brother smoke · 08-17-2010, 11:57 AM

Make it solely a meat contest!

rksylves · 08-17-2010, 12:00 PM

The fact that I haven't won a GC, yet.

Earlier Awards Ceremonies!!

mfreeman73 · 08-17-2010, 02:17 PM

More trained judges. There are a lot of good judges out there, but there's a lot of ignorant judges, too, that score on ridiculous scales such as never giving a nine or giving out a five to something that clearly isn't below average. I hear stories like that all the time and it drives me nuts. I judge comps here and there and I give it a nine if it's really good and I don't give it anything below a six unless it really is below average. Just a pet peeve of mine. :P

For which sanctioning body?

KCBS - I'd probably want to eliminate allowance of greens in the box.
GBA - Pork loin, BBQ? Really. No, replace it with Brisket.
FBA - No chicken; chicken ain't BBQ, is it? Maybe it is.
MIM/MBN - Perhaps weigh the scoring WAY down for on-site. Meaning blind is 90% of the score, on-site is 10%.

Ford · 08-17-2010, 02:47 PM

Nothing. It ain't broke so don't mess with it.

But I wish I could cook a little better and more consistently.

Dale P · 08-17-2010, 03:33 PM

Remove the pork rule.

Anchors Smokeshop · 08-17-2010, 03:36 PM

I wish the pay-outs were greater. I would love to quit my job and become a professional pitmaster.

I'm sure my wife feels differently.

ThomEmery · 08-17-2010, 03:37 PM

Add more surprise side dish categories :)
And then the results would eliminate the bottom 33%
Oh this would be very popular I just know it

You know I am teasing right?

Dr_KY · 08-17-2010, 04:10 PM

More comps closer to home.

Comps and events non conflicting.

Less moaning, false hype and more cooking. :)

Destroy the clicks!! If ya don't like someone then just out cook them. :)

WineMaster · 08-17-2010, 04:38 PM

How about in a turn in box, with a 2" foam platforn covered with Indoor/Outdoor Carpet that your meat gets put on so all boxes look the same EXCEPT for the meat. Then and only then the MEAT will get an APPEARANCE score.

Yakfishingfool · 08-17-2010, 05:25 PM

drop the greens and go with green boxes.

Smokesman · 08-17-2010, 05:38 PM

Judging - one extra step to become a CBJ - you have to cook with a team first - then to remain certified some sort of yearly continuing education be it a questionnaire, cooking with a team, etc. Finally, for KCBS, every issue of the Bullsheet should have a judging article that covers the latest FAQ's, rustlings, tips, etc.

AT the Battle of the BBQ brethren I would make it mandatory that we carry SmokeInDaEye around the contest site in a sedan chair so that we may pay respect and honor his achievements.
