Auburndale, FL - FBA Cookoff March 19

[chad]

I'm guess the usual cast of characters will be there?

I was going to judge but I'm doing "move the mother-in-law" tomorrow. What really hurts is I'll be in Lakeland doing the move - about 20 minutes away from the cookoff!

Good luck everyone!

Wow... Good job guys!
So how do judges manage to score to five digits past the decimal point??

So how do judges manage to score to five digits past the decimal point??

For that we have to thank the computer! In FBA we score by the .5 and so with 6 judges, three criteria, and weighting of the three categories, etc. etc. the scores get spread.
