Jim - I judge as well and while I like sliced pork in the box, I would want to see at least 6 slices so each judge could get some of the sliced, as well as some of the pulled or whatever else the competitor put in the box.
I do like to have some pulled pork in the box along with the sliced, but you judge 'em as they turn 'em in - and its the appearance of the meat, not the grooming of the surrounding garden!

I probably didn't state that correctly. I meant two sets of three pieces side by side with some pulled in the back.
You are correct in stating you are to judge the meat and not the garnish, but my point was that it is very hard not to take the garnish into consideration. And if we are only to judge the meat, then why have any garnish at all?
