Wait until you see the fun start!
When they did this before,they used them one weekend in GA without announcing them.There was literally almost a riot.They used an extra set of reps to handle the cards,distribute and try to handle the ANGRY cookteams.
No judges had been trained how to write comments.
The next weekend,we were cooking the NC championship and they announced them at the cooks' meeting.A bunch of cooks had been at the previous week and a riot started at the meeting.Myron Mixon and a couple other tried to get the teams to pull out and refund money.
It got nasty.
They had untrained citizens handling turnin boxes and they slid them down 8 ft tables to the guy stacking them.He carried them three deep into the building to go on the trays.
Barbara came straight back and told us how the boxes were being handled.
We had a lot of the top teams in the South and the turnin member tends to stand and watch.
Several filed complaints with the TWO teams of reps.
One of our cards said"there was a sauce smudge inside the lid on pork"
Another said"sauce on chicken needs to be sweeter".
We had the great comments.
I supposed they are going to play a CD at the judges' meeting about appropriate comments?
