Do you all know if the two LI-based judges Vinny, Sled and I met last weekend reached out about judging?

I need a spot too. Preferably away from BYC. He cheats.

Are you referring to the 2 judges at Pork in the Park? I am one of them and I have already contacted Eric about judging (my friend Mike as well). I also put together a spreadsheet similar to the one used by KCBS that automatically tallies the weighted scores, dropping the lowest, etc. - I read on an earlier posting that you guys needed one. Who should I send that to?

Hello!

Quick question for you experienced judges.

Willy-Pallooza will have 12 competitors.

Would the following be reasonable for volunteers in the judging area?

2 tables of 6 judges each
2 table captains
2 volunteers for recording data, numbering containers, general assistance

Total of 16 people.

Does this sound right? And is that a reasonable ratio? 1 general volunteer per 6 judges to keep things flowing?

Thanks,

Eric

This sound right. The 2 volunteers should be responsible for the turn in table, relabel the turn-in containers and hand them to the table captains who will bring them to the judges.

Besides the table captains, there are usually KCBS reps on hand who run the show and coordinate the turn-in volunteers. They are also the ones that the captains go to in case of any controversy or issue that may lead to disqualification (pooling, object in food, wrong type of garnish in container, etc.). Since this is not a sanctioned event, you might just give the captains this level of authority. I would recommend making the most experienced of the judges Captains in this case.

You're welcome to come join me and Wine&Swine. Love to have you!

After John's help in setting up tonight's dinner for me and my wife's 4th anniversary, I'd be glad to work with you guys, if I can make it.

You guys will also need judging slips and placemats. Unless someone can get their hands on real KCBS slips and placemats, we can probably design something easily. Just need to get enough printed for the competition.

Good point. I would prefer to use a facsimile, as using the KCBS materials for a non-KCBS event might tick someone off.

I'll check with Willie and see what he has to say.
