This is on one of the other forums so I wanted to see what this forum thought.
Two reps have been punished by the board for drinking while at a contest on duty. They recieved a suspension of 6 contest or 3 months. :-o There is a rule in the reps manuel against it. They were asked by the ones who supplied the drinks if that was allowed and both said the rule had been changed.
Now, a cook gets caught using gas the wrong way, a hair dryer now, saying the wrong thing to a rep, or being unruley they are suspended for a year. Case in point, a team cooking there second contest used a weed burner to relight there coals in a bullet after removing the brisket from the bottom rack but they left the butt on the top rack. They did not know.:crazy:
Too bad, suspended for a year.
These two reps knew the rules, lied about it, and for one it is the second offence. :heh:
You tell me, does this seem even to you? Just for info, One board member voted for no punishment, and two abstained.
There are no guidelines for punishment for reps or judges and the board is trying to correct that. But it needs to be even in my opinion.
The reps are paid independent contractors now, they are suppose to be overseeing the contest for the KCBS. They should be held to the higher standard.
My two cents.
