I agree with you Curt. After going throught the judging school and hearing most of the judges in training commenting on sauce, even thought they were instructed to judge on the overall taste of the meat, I learned that these individuals are not as big a BBQ snob as I am and will judge things according to the outward taste of the meat. I know lightly sauce all of my contest meat for that very reason.I gave it a 7... same reasons... ends look ragged, too much fat, it looks dry... have you sauced it? I've changed my mind about saucing brisket... judges like sauce. Some judges like no sauce, but just about all judges like sauce. Why play the odds backwards?
I personally like the Texas style of Q with no sauce, but if I want to win at a contest I have to lightly sauce it.
