SANCTIONING COMMITTEE MEETING
JULY 6, 2022
Members present:
Randy Bigler, Debbie Yopp, Beth Salzl, Karrin Murphy, Sherry Byler, Laurie Tweeten, Cliff Davis, Jeanne Titus, Alan Rothrock, Emily Detwiler and Myron Berry
Meeting began at 12:01pm
We had an application for an existing BY contest from SoCoBo BBQ Showdown for Sept 10, 2022 in Ashland, MO. This application is under 90 days which requires board approval. Our committee recommends approval for the contest.
Discussion continued this month on a Master Series 2 Meat contest as we received a survey that was sent out to cook teams in June. The survey found that 81% of the respondents were interested in a 2 Meat Master series contest with responses centered around cheaper and less time needed. A proposal will be brought back to the committee next month.
The requirement for BY contests to pay out Grand, Reserve and the top 5 places in each category was brought to the committee.. The committee changed this requirement to pay out Grand, Reserve and the top 3 places in each category. The new prize letter will reflect the change and the Organizers Guide will be updated. There have been several BY contests that have struggled to pay out the top 5 places due to the economy.
Cancelled contests were also brought to the attention of the committee.
Meeting adjourned at 12:55pm

Old Business
? JSSP and JCUP progress review (as of 7/11/2022).
o The JSSP Program 1754 passes from 1508 unique members successfully passed!
o The JCUP Program 2450 passes from 1981 unique CBJ’s have successfully passed!
New Business
? Develop program considerations for Online Table Captain Certification Program (TCCP), CBJ not required.
o Goal will be to deliver to the CEO before end of June so voiceover and video production can be put
out for bid. Possible Go-Live before end of TOY year requested.
o Full scripting outline completed, Requested narration completed. Working on final review and
submission by 6/30 is still on target. Delivered to BOD and Rep Chair on 7/11.
? Develop program considerations for full Online CBJ course to determine if viable and how it would work.
Not a replacement for traditional in person class, but an alternative.
o Develop requirements.
? 10 to 12 modules, Initial mapping completed by Bill Jones, possibly called JOTC or Judge
Online Training Certification.
? Considerations for Code of Conduct and Anti-Discrimination to be electronically signed at
the registration / payment for class and test questions would be included in subsequent
modules. We would not include this as a module in the online class if this is acceptable.
? Reuse of the scoring, chicken, ribs, pork and brisket modules from JCUP
? Preference is leaning towards a live “zoom” type format where the class will be online, but
instructor led to answer questions or give examples.
? Develop RFP for a new, next generation CBJ seating program or “Judge Management System (JMS).
o Incorporate Judge sign in, electronic signature record, electronic chip draw, etc..
o Judges need NOT to be concerned that their scoring would influence being chosen for a contest.
o Very dependent upon statistical analysis being requested by the Tech Workgroup.
o Would rely heavily on KCBS Rep Committee input for usability and functionality.
? Initial functionality requirements started by the Reps on the CBJ committee, passed off to
Tech committee for review before sending to the Rep committee.
? First draft of requirements from the CBJ committee has been delivered to Tech and Rep
committee.
? Develop program considerations for a new KCBS CBJ Portal applet that could link cook teams with Judges
that need to cook for their MCBJ requirement. Search by geographical are and automate sending emails to
teams willing to host judges by area on behalf of the judge.
o Quote delivered to the CEO, this will remain on the list with low priority.
o Secondary functionality could be for Judges that are willing to cook with cook teams to provide
guidance (Teams searching for judges for cooking assistance).
Closing – Any additional questions or concerns that are provided.
