I think I've heard not to judge down for smudges on the lid - at least once judging.
I don't disagree with no guarantee, however I'm yet to judge an event where some of the entries have not been anything less then spectacular. Although around KC, it's hard not to judge a comp without a handful of primer teams. :razz: All kidding aside, I do think it's a privilege to judge - no one is making anyone taste test some food with an opportunity to take a cooler full home for later.
The intent of my comment was simply questioning if he was serious or kidding. Each competitor puts in a lot of hours to try to present the best BBQ they know how.
I disagree.. The way I read his post was that he was being honest and at the same time pointing out a reminder and clear;y noted he was not marking down conciously because of the parsley..
And your only getting the "privledge" of sampling some great BBQ each time judging.. no guarantees anything will be good.
