Judges Needed for Pro & Backyard Contests!

We are in need of certified judges form all types of sanctioning bodies; MBN; KCBS; GBA; FBA; or any other legitimate sanctioning organization. We will be judging on a 6-10 scale with decimals. We’ll be scoring on appearance, taste and texture. Food categories include Ribs, Chicken, Brisket, and Pulled Pork for the Pros. The Backyard Contest categories only require Chicken and Ribs. We would like to have judges preside over a total of no more than 3 categories. If you have a category preference, please let us know. We want to be as fair as possible to our cooks who come out and work hard to make the best BBQ possible, so please be appreciative of our contestants.
