KCBS Judging Class Info?

HeSmellsLikeSmoke · 06-21-2007, 05:00 AM

Can someone direct me to a link which gives information regarding judging at a KCBS event? I am looking for something that is more or less what you would get when you attend a judging class.

I looked on the KCBS site, but all I found was a little bit of info within the Competetion Cooks Rulebook.

I've cooked of helped with at least a half dozen classes ( I'm going to help Jim Boggs next weekend in Lake Placid) so this is my take.

The class runs about 3-4 hours. The first half the instructors (here in the North East it's Linda and Jerry Mullane) go over the KCBS rules and tell the perspective judges what the standards the cooks are cooking to. The last half of the class the judges are sampling food in a true KCBS judging environment and talking about and defending their scores.

It is worth an afternoon, if only to be around BBQ people.

Rich,

That's way cool that you have helped cook so many of those. Good news for you, starting July 1 the cooks will be compensated for their efforts. While I realize we don't cook these things for the money AND there will probably never be enough pay to compensate the cooks for time and effort, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

I took the class a few months ago.

I got a certificate stating I was a KCBS member and another stating I was a CBJ. I aslo got a KCBS name tag bearing my judge number.

Well, that didn't work. Click on where it says "classes" and then go to "judging classes".

Rich, Thanks for this information. I have contacted Dmitry and may have a slot for the judging class in Lake Placid. If it all works out, I will see you there.

Besides age and membership, are there any other requirements (qualifications) to become a JUDGE??

No food allergies. Competitors use MSG and other stuff in their Que. Rather than take a chance, if you have a food allergy it is best to opt out. No one will think any less of someone who opts out of judging because of a food allergy.

I have my judging class in 2 hours, I'm hungry and ready!
