Hogs for a Cause judging information

I know for a fact that the same sauce was once turned in for two teams one got top 3, one bottom 3. My advice, do it to have fun

Are y'all cooking it to fall off the bone or bite through?

You never know. I was on a team that did the exact same thing. We got a top 10 overall the first go. We had several top places over the years. Our best was a 2nd place in Porkpourri. However, I think one of the contributing factors was that we were also top 5 in fundraising.

I don't think it matters. This isn't a sanctioned event.

I’ve only gone twice, and never competed, but none of the ribs that I tried were fall off the bone. If I go to a bbq place that advertises fotb ribs I’d never buy them. They’re overcooked.

Don't set out to do well, you will be disappointed. Have fun and just do your thing. Learn to plate it well.

You want stick to the rib bones and color.

The judges are not judging on taste for the most part.

The overseer judges tell them what to look for and then point out how they should be judging. Basically your ribs are being judged by someone walking around standing over everyone's shoulder telling them how to score it.

I judged one year, kind of accurate but no one was telling me how to vote.
