This has been our first year competing and I was just analyzing my scores for the 12 contests we have done so far. One area that concerns me are the appearance scores for Brisket. We actually included Brisket burnt-ends in our boxes for every one of the first 6 contests. For the following 5 contests, we didn't include them. Even though our taste and tenderness scores improved when we just submitted slices, our appearance scores were definitely lower. It seems that the Judges are scoring down for the lack of Burnt ends in the box. Is everyone else experiencing this as well?
