Help with Ribs Score

[cubfan1968]

Should the ribs be placed all in a row (1 1 1 1 1 1) ? With the St Louis cut of ribs thats hard to do.

I am still amazed by the differance between the judges. some guys see 9's then a 6. is it always this way?

We have only been doing this for a year, but so far, I'd say yes it's pretty common.

Yup. Go figure.

Sadly, yes. Just this weekend I TC'd for a guy who scored an entry with a 6 for appearance when the rest of the table gave it 9s! When I asked him why he just said that he "didn't like the look of them" and wouldn't elaborate.

Chipper:
As others have mentioned, your appearance scores were actually pretty good. I think that if you rotated them 90 degrees and tightened up your garnish(putting green) you would be in good shape. Also, try to line up the ribs so that they look like they came from the same slab.
