I'll third the topic of a team database.
Who judged the Hammond, La event? quote]
I was a table captain in Hammond and they had 100% certified judges and 100% certified table captains. I'm sorry you have not had an opportunity to attend a judging school. Most, if not all of the contests I attend in the southeast do attempt to have all certified judges and most are successful in doing so.

I didn't mean to imply that the judges at Hammond weren't certified, my point though is still that we need some classes being held in other areas of the country. I notice you are from North Alabama. That is a pretty long haul from South Louisiana.
Case in point: Our Chicken Scoring last week one judge 9-8-9 another 5-5-5 ?? Whats up with that???

As you might remember some changes I have proposed have taken a lot to convince the Board to consider. But that is no reason to not try.
Amen to that, Jay! We must have been on the same table with ya! We got almost all 8's and 9's from five judges with a few 7's thrown in and judge #1 gave us a 7-4-3!!! That's just stupid!
And here I thought I was the only one at that judges table.... ;-)

Merl,thanks for askin.
New logo? Ok, fine now leave it alone.
Electronic voting? Perfect, good job.
New judging slips ? Will see.
Cooks comment cards ? Great idea, many times wanted to explain my mark. Could be pretty sloppy looking card though, hard enough keeping score card clean.
Crappy judges, talking at the table before card turn in, too many first time judges grouped together, inattention during judges instuction... Put Mike Lake in charge of more events or have him train the reps. There is a noticeable difference between the way he runs a contest and others I have judged.
Last but not least the cooler debate. The first two contests I ever did I just sampled and pitched, honest to God each time I approached the garbage can I expected my mom to cuff me in the back of the head!! My wife was asking how it was, were there any real good ones or bad ones, this that and the other thing. So I decided to put some samples in the cooler and let her share in my hobby, that is all there is to it. I'm not tryint to put dinner on the table for the next week. Just sharing my fun and excitement for good BBQ.

I agree with Jeff_In_KC on a couple of points. First, I am going to become a CBJ this summer. I also plan to compete. I want to be the best CBJ possible for the teams who are working very hard to make a good showing because that is exactly what I want when I compete. If my judging proves to be consistently off, then I should be required to be retrained or not allowed to judge.
Next, I am a web developer (actually an IT Manager now but I built websites for 15 years), and web design is crucial to an organizations growth. Your website is your business card; even more so, it is your brochure! It must be attractive, easy to use and constantly update with new and changing information. I think the KCBS website could use some immediate attention to improve the image of the organization and to make information more accessible to it visitors and members.

the point system need to be updated KCBS is way behind.
If a contest has 25 + teams, the points are doubled.
If a contest has 50 + teams, the points are tripled.
25 is little contest in kcbs now I thank that you should double what you have now to
If a contest has 50 + teams, the points are doubled.
If a contest has 100 + teams, the points are tripled.
