6 seperate and identifyable

Thanks for clearing that up for me, it explained a lot.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I always try to get a single slab in the box...
Under the old rule (separate and identifiable) I was DQ'd once. I had the slab looking whole, and was told that because they could not identify all 6 separate pieces, I got a DQ in appearance. It becomes iffy based on the table/rep... right? If you see 6 bones, is it identifiable? or do you have to see 6 cuts, etc.

This tweak of the rule, makes it easier for the judges/reps to be consistent, and makes it consistent with the other meats.

Well I totally agree with the rule change if this has been happening. As a CBJ and comp cook I have never given this a thought as a problem area in appearance, guess that is when comment cards would have been nice. I have never heard it mentioned in the class or at cooks or judge meetings that they must appear as at least 6 separate sections or be scored down. Only scored down later if they are not individual pieces in the box. In fact I have always shrived to make it appear as one slab taken from the same section, dang just realized that must be why I have never made Grand Champion, who knew. :roll:

That has been one of my major gripes durring the past. I'm very glad that this was changed. Now about that "parting" thing ...........
