Though our overall placement in M'Town was a disappointment (20 something out of 60 some teams) I was surprised that with such a low placement we had almost no 6s. The folks who won must have been near perfect!!
It got me to thinking about a conversation I had with Pat and the Smokehouse bros about scoring. When I see a 6 I am assuming that that particular judge was disappointed with my food. I know that some interpret a 6 as average. To me, as a cook, 7 is average and 6 is a statement of dislike. When I see a 6 I assume that the judge had a hard time even swallowing my food.
How do you all interpret scores, especially scores under 7? (Luckily we have never gotten anything below a 6 yet...)
Just something I have been thinking about. I don't dispute scores I'm given, but I wonder if judges fully understand what a 6 does to a team's score. 6 is the kiss of death - thus I think it shouldn't be interpreted as "average."
