From what I can see from the discussion here, many seem to be a viewing BCS scoring in comparison to the KCBS scoring system. I certainly don't think it is being done intentionally. The BCS scoring and KCBS scoring systems are two entirely different animals.
With the KCBS scoring system, 6's will end your day in a hurry and 5's leave you wondering WTF. Clearly the scoring for this event was different from what the cooks are used to. Maybe it's just the way these BCS events will go based on the scoring system in place now.
If you got a 6 in BCS it is deemed average. A 5 is somewhat below average.
1 - Disqualified Only the Head judge can authorize this score.
2 - Awful, raw or inedible
3 - Had significant faults
4 - Faulted
5 - Somewhat below average
6 - Average
7 - A bit above average
8 - Very Good
9 - Great!
10 - Outstanding!!!
The BCS is a new sanctioning body with new ideas. Give it some time to work itself out and don't try to overthink it. If it breaks your heart too much to accept that your scores arent going to be 9s and 10s all day long then maybe the BCS isn't for you.
