I mentioned I have the pleasure of helping Keith and his son as part of Smokey Bottom Boys this weekend down at Chesapeake. I'm going to be putting together the Anything Butt entry. Being somewhat new to competitions, I have a few questions that I'd prefer to be resolved before learning the hard way. All I know is that for this contest, the turn-in must be in a 9x9 box and cannot be a dessert.
(1) Am I correct in assuming that the turn-in needs at east six samples, as for the other categories?
(2) Am I correct in assuming that pretty much anything can go into the box for garnish, including (gasp!) pineapple rings or kale or endive?
(3) Can you use toothpicks or other such extraneous items?
(4) Is the judging still double-blind?
(5) Is the box somehow identified to indicate a name for the dish? For example, even if the judges did not know it was Tom and Christy's entry in Salisbury, did they know they had called the entry Chicken Puffs?
Anything else I should know?
Thanks for the feedback.

I've never competed down at Chesapeake before, but I can offer this:
1) 6 portions required (6 judges per tabel)
2) It's up to the event organizers as it is not a KCBS category.
3) It's up to the event organizers as it is not a KCBS category.
4) most likely, yes.
5) Only if they require it to be labeled. If there is no explicit requirement, then, no labeling wouold be allowed (blind judging issue).
Someone who has competed down there may have better insight.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Mark

Hey Dave
Not that I am an expert on any of this but.... You are correct 6 servings/pieces. I would be carful thou with the toothpicks unless of course it enchances the presentation . See tom and I have these little pirate flag toothpicks  that we don't use. I think something like that would be consisdered marking The judgeing is blind your assigned 2 #'s the one thats on your box and when you turn in you have anotherone  Ha Ha funny you shoud ask about "do they ask you what it is" No they don't very trusting souls they are. The gentleman behind us had the same question it was ther first Comp in Salisbury. Of couse I told them no they don't ask you just turn it in on time. Thou later I find out that they had turned in bacon wrapped frog leggs I belive  . I think the word on the street is seafood usually wins we were 22nd out of 55 in Salisbury with Cocunut Peacan Shrimp it was very tasty I thought but your still dealing with 6 judges. It's a new playing field every Comp consitancy is what Tom and I are working on and to improve just a bit each time  and of course have fun meet new people and don't sweat the small stuff Bst of Luck to you it's not far off i can't wait to meet you!!

Thanks, Mark and Christy -
I'm looking forward to meeting you as well, and everyone else here I have yet to meet.
This partially answers my other question, entries will be similarly scored 1 to 9 on appearance, taste and texture?
Part of the reason for my fifth question is that I'm considering using some homemade items that could possibly be mistaken for store-bought. It would be nice if I was given some consideration for that, but the rules is the rules.
I'm also not able to get down there until later in the afternoon on Friday - would any meat items used for Anything Butt also be subject to inspections?

I tried a couple new sausage recipes earlier this week, and they came out fairly nicely. Without going into details, I'm using one of them for an unusual - even for me unusual - appetizer concoction.
