Yankee Food Network judges.....I bet it was "pretty" though. Plating is about 50% of the score, no?

North Alabama KCBS trained judges. 

You get scored on Taste, Tenederness and Apperance.  You can get a 1 to 9, 9 being perfect, 1 being DQ'd or some really shitty food.   You have 6 judges, you then will get a score from each judge in each category.  You then multiply each category by a certain number and it comes up with you score.  You get to drop the lowest score.  The max total points you can score is 180.

EX.

Scores
Judge 1: Taste = 8, Tend = 8, App = 9
Judge 2: Taste = 9, Tend = 7, App = 7
Judge 3: Taste = 8, Tend = 8, App = 8
Judge 4: Taste = 9, Tend = 9, App = 9
Judge 5: Taste = 6, Tend = 6, App = 7
Judge 6: Taste = 7, Tend = 6, App = 9

Taste = Judges Score (2.2858)
Tend = Judges Score (1.1428)
Appearance = Judges Score (.5714)

Get your totals, add them up and drop the lowest score.

J1= 32.5714
J2= 32.5716
J3= 32
J4= 36
J5= 24.5696
J6= 28.0054

You then get to throw out your lowest score and it will give you your total.  In this case you throw away Judge 5.

Score: 32.5714 + 32.5716 + 32 + 36 + 28.0054 = 161.1484/180

Well goshdamn!  I wrote all that shit up and scribble on pencil and paper in my best chicken scratch for nothing?

I agree with half of what he said.

Judge 5 had it out for you. I would have kicked his ass.

PFFFTTTTTTTTTTT......We cook better than that. 

If we scored a 6 in two of the categories we would be taking to KCBS reps.  Well, depending on how big the event was.  The bigger the event, they are supposed to have seasoned judges.  Those judges were taught old school and usually start at 8 and work up or down from there.  The newer ones who are supposed to work the smaller events until they get their credits up, have been taught to work from 6 and go up from there.  Most of the time a 6 is as low as it will get.

Speaking of which, I think this is our last year of competing, we may hit one or two next year, but we are done.  My cooking partner's little boy will be starting Tee Ball next year, it's getting way to expensive to buy all the supplies that we need and well it consumes an entire weekend.   I may be sharing all my recipes in the Culinary Center before too long.
