Great weekend! Despite missing the 4pm cutoff for getting my truck into the site by 10 minutes after a 6.5 hour drive and nearly being impaled by a wind crushed canopy during fish turn-in, it was a ton of fun!!! Good spending time with old friends and meeting some new ones. Plus I got two calls on Saturday (4th in sausage, 5th in fish) and came .6 from placing in the top 3 for grilling!!! Tons of 8s and 9s on the score sheet.
But as Vinny mentioned, I was a bit upset by my results yesterday. Although this was only my second full barbeque contest, I really felt I could better my effort from New Paltz. I think my scores were WORSE!!! Cooking went perfect, turn-ins went perfect (except getting ribs in with 10 seconds to spare because of a problem with shiners), and I thought the flavor and tenderness were well balanced on the brisket. Here's my turn-in boxes. PPPPLLLLEASE let me know your thoughts. We probably went too heavy on the garnish (though it was similar Saturday) and the glaze on my ribs could have been thinner to even out the color. What else? Maybe pull the pork more? It was so tender i wanted the judges to see how it falls apart so I left the chunks a bit larger.

Flipped over garbage truck on the highway and a couple other accidents. Then I got there and they told me I had to hand carry everything about a mile. Did one trip and some people showed up in little trucks and unloaded the entire trailer!
I'm thinking maybe I should stick to grilling. 5th (Hudson Valley), 5th (Grilling on the Bay) and now 4th.

Sauce your pork, get your chicken a little darker, and show more of the ribs. Lots of garnish in that rib box and you really only get a full shot of the top three ribs and maybe the two flanking bottom ribs. Even though you have seven baby back ribs in the box, it looks sparse.
IMHO. Hope that helps you.

Clint,
It was great seeing you up in New Hampshire. I am sorry I did not get to your site but I am on crutches now and the long grass made it difficult for me. I have to say your boxes look very good. The presentation scores are only a small part of your score though. What were your other marks? We simplified our cooking process quite a bit. I think we were outsmarting ourselves for a while and decided to go back to basics after BBQ on the farm. It seemed to work for us. At BBQ at the farm we came in 38th out of 47th. Go figure! The Polocks know you cook great Que! Keep your chin up and and keep trying. You will be taking walks soon.
