As judges we are encouraged to attend award presentations at the end of the contest and personally we try to do that whenever possible. It gives us a chance to visit with teams and other judges as well. I think though that it would be nice to share judge's accomplishments with the teams during award presentations as well. When judging a 30th contest the judge is recognized during the judges meeting. I think that accomplishment is something the teams would like to know and celebrate with judges that they know and/or might have allowed to cook with them. What do you all think about briefly recognizing a judge who is judging their 30th contest maybe just before awards are announced or sometime during that time? There are plans to recognize judges with 100 contests. I think it would be nice to be recognized so that the team members know who the judges are that have invested so many of their Saturdays to the sport. Is it an idea worth pursuing or just a brain-dead idea that crept in at the end of along day? :crazy: Would teams be interested or judges willing to stay to be recognized?:noidea:
