Ray's post brings up a question - Are there DISRUPTIVE judges that an organizer or Rep might know about in advance? Knowing in advance rules out the First-timer who loudly demands "I WANT SAUCE" or some other foolishness.drbbq said:My guess would be that he's using that excuse to weed out disruptive judges as he sees fit.
Why must we talk about this over and over like being a CBJ is some great accomplishment. All you have to do is have $30 and a few hours. Nobody has ever failed the course. After the class you are never tested or questioned. I like the program as a promotional tool and a fundraiser, but to assume these CBJ's are all "Looking for" the same anything is kind of ridiculous.
I do agree with Ray that sitting thru a 4 hour seminar does not insure that the person will follow the rules, but it does show a committment to the rules that is not shown by someone who does not attend.
IMHO being a CBJ does not say a great deal, but having judged several contests in the last year, becomng a Master Judge does.
