I, personally, would complain first about an on-site to begin with (me, being me). The garnish (like in this photo) really isn't significant as compared to all the other stuff you must/should do to get a really good on-site presentation. For example, to be able to accomodate the on-site visits (plus having enough for finals) you'll cook pretty much 12+- racks of ribs. For whole shoulder you'll cook a MINIMUM of 6 18-20# shoulders; we cook 7 or 8. Even though I really like it, it surely would be nice to just do a blind turn-in and go on to the next thing... It's a nice difference from the KCBS/FBA thing. There are those who also complain about the on-site favoring the larger more glitzy teams. My experience has been different though (smaller less-glitzy team), as we seem to get fine scores on-site.
Garnish, in a blind box; little different debate/argument, IMHO. But, I didnt show/present this to argue/debate. It was merely a pron thing for anyone curious.
