I have a couple questions for the candidates.
Did you watch the video of Carolyn accepting Tuffy's apparently late entry at Lakeland?
Do you think she planned on DQing it when she left that turn in room?
Would you have the nads to hold her accountable?

As a candidate I did watch the video and the video reminds me of a really good horror movie. You are cheering for the person to get to the turn in, the officials are right there standing over the clock, and as time expires the cook is late... From the video you would swear that the rep turned a blind eye and decided to take the entry. I hope that she decided to do the right thing based on the rules and not the fact that it was being recorded.I have a couple questions for the candidates.

If elected to the board I would make an example out of anyone that obviously defies the rules set forth whether they are a judge, rep, or cook.
Obviously it's not the end of the story if people are still talking about it. Are you saying Carolyn accepted the box to keep the team count up ? There were 66 teams in that contest so turning Tuffy away would not have affected anybody's chance of getting into the Royal or Jack. Why did you bring up team count ? Do you think Carolyn should have told Tuffy he was late on the spot ? I Do. Either his turn in was late or it wasn't and that decision is made at turn in time not 1 minute 5 minutes 20 minutes or an hour later after you realize there was a video of the late entry. Should the rep (Carolyn) have been reprimanded ? Probably. If it wasn't Carolyn Wells would it have been a different story ? I'm not saying Carolyn should have been suspended from being a rep but she should have made a public apology and admitted she made a mistake by not dq'ing the entry on the spot. I know Tuffy would never ask for such a thing but that's not really the point.This is from the rules. It was put in place to keep qualifying contests with the required team counts in categories:
CLARIFICATION: If product is turned in and is disqualified, it
receives a one (1) in all criteria. If the team does not turn in
a product or is disqualified and not allowed to turn in, that
team’s category is not judged and receives no score. If a
product is turned in and then disqualified for late turn in,
no bone in ribs, etc., it is not judged and will receive a one
(1) in all criteria.
The problem with Lakeland was that Carolyn took the box without telling Tuffy it was DQed and would be given 1's based on the rule above. He thought he skated through on the late turn in, as evidenced by his interview on another video.
In my opinion, the right result at the contest occurred. End of story!
