Congratulation Disconnect!!!!!!!!!!!
The nice thing is that you have plenty of "comfort food" to soften the blow.That particular brisket was inedible when we cut it - super tough and chewy. Nasty, frankly. By the time the judges got it we scored 26th out of 47. (The ribs were not so lucky - our first last place, no idea why. "Too dark" was one comment.. stupid judges.) Ended up 42nd overall. One of those write-off contests; we'll be back, but we can't take those scores personally. (We did much better at Salisbury, where the first pics were from. 72nd out of 113 overall but that was a screwed up chicken entry. 17th in brisket
)
Same offer goes to anyone trying to perfect the baking of cookies, brewing of beer or wine or those of you who may be closet moonshiners.![]()

What you need is practice. Lots and lots of practice. And since I like you so much I'm willing to give up as much of my time as needed to be a practice judge until you perfect all four categories. This could take weeks of daily BBQ, I'm sure. Just let me know when and I'll be willing to make that sacrifice.![]()
