No kcbs contests are open garnish for the 4 main meats! In fact garnish is
NOT required! One friend did earn an entry to the JD last year and usually
doesn't use garnish @ KCBS contest--but it is a disadvantage I feel.. One
thing to "member is that scores are weighted--IIRC about 25% is for
appearance
