I think that is what happened. I believe that they do the judging in
stages. If the jar looks up to standards they will open it. If it
looks and smells ok, they will taste.

Pete was taking pictures. I told him later that he should have taken
pictures of the winners in the categories I entered but did not win
anything. I forgot to ask what happened to the jar of jelly that was
listed as using the inversion method instead of BWB.
