Bit by the dreaded "bad table" in West Virginia
1st place chicken, 1st place pork, 3rd place brisket......34th place ribs. Our ribs have done well all year. Table "1" had by far the lowest scores in all 4 categories. Even 25th in ribs would have earned us our first GC. In addition we missed out on a possible auto to the jack next year (wv)...and I missed awards because I was sleeping in my toy hauler and didnt get the message that awards were moved up an hour. 2 first place calls and I was sleeping (my first ever 1st place calls). I realize everyone takes it on the chin every once and awhile but DANG that was a stinger. Congrats to dizzy pig and others who walked, we will regroup and get um next time!
Help a brother out and give me some of your "bad table" stories so I know at least I'm not the only one! |

Think of it in a positive light. At least you didn't sleep through your first GC!
Great job, big calls. Don't get caught up in the would have, could have, should have stuff. Just go out and do it again.

Our brisket has landed on a bad table every contest this year! LOL
BTW, we slept through awards too, and missed our call for Smokin' sweets.

Thanks dan, we always joke and say there should be a 5th category and trophy for beating 3 eyez! That would have been a first time for us as well! Good luck at the jack, I will be pulling for the MABA teams.

Good table, bad table. Usually, all my entries land on a BAD table.
That table is MINE! Like others have said, I need to be consistent; consistently better and better. In your case, it does look like you were so dam close. wallace

The good/bad table was in full force at the SAMs regional in Chesapeake tables 4 and 5 were the highest scoring 5 on one table for chicken was on top 10 and we got third on our table in brisket and had a 3rd place brisket (it wasn't that good) but the other categories landed on table 1,2 and 3 which kept us from qualifying.

Yeah, I had an entry on "Table 1". They definitely dominated the bottom of each category. This is not new news. It's just the way it is. Now, KCBS lets you see it on paper.
Congrats on a great showing. Keep cooking and you'll get that GC.
