GREAT TIME WAS HAD!
Slat great to meet you, and visit. Sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up again before we left.
Hey, we cooked great Q and I don't think we should drastically change a thing.
I think our Rib presentation was weak and probably cost us a higher score. My fault. I won't try that way again. Live and learn.
I am not discouraged at all. We will compete the again.
This is like showing up for a backyard game of football and find out the opposing team is the Patriots!
Spice is right a reality check doesn't hurt anyone.
THe smoker worked well, everyone on the team did an awesome job and we were better prpared and turned in better Q than last year at Boone County so I feel we improved and will keep on marching in that direction.
A bad day cooking is better that a great day at work!!!!
Judges preferences prevail and when you get a 999, and a 988 then a 755 or something by the rest of the judges at that table they are looking for two different things and that is the system we have and have to live with.
Thanks for all your support and words of encouragement!
NEXT!
You just hit the nail on the head. My biggest problem with BBQ judging is the extreme scores. Anybody who knows anything about numbers would tell you how exteme scores effect the mean. Most would agree that the extreme score should just be thrown out, or in this case, maybe the judge should be thrown out too. But then again, I understand that different strokes for different folks. So I go back to my main beef, throw out the extreme scores and get real, valid and reliable results. JMHO.
