What makes Sam's this way?

Could be the way they go about choosing their judges? Most contests,but not Sam's, send out early renewal for judges that did their contest the year before....

... Plus if you only cook 1 or 2 events in different "regions" and you do well or bad that isn't a big enough sample size to really know if the changes where what made the food good or bad or if it was just a random weekend............

Spot on fnbish. We're a West coast team that does 1 or 2 contests per year in the Mid Atlantic region, semi funded by charity sponsorship - Pulmonary hypertension Association.

We cook exactly the same flavors we cook at home and have done well on occasion - not so well on other occasions. It takes some real cash to be able to collect data coast to coast.

There is absolutely a difference in PNWBA and KCBS flavors and judging. Pnwba has made changes to a 10 point scoring, weighting of the different categories, and have a different training system. We have gone away from a heavy Pnwba schedule because we want to do better around the country and our results show it. We are the #1 kcbs team in the PNW. The people mentioned above while great in their day they don't compete anymore and the circuit is different now.

Agreed on the judging...big difference between PNWBA and KCBS...but not so on the flavors...at least where we are concerned...we have done well at all the KCBS events up here cooking our same flavors...they just don't care for it much elsewhere...:crazy:
