Tape Will Be Reviewed

-Marina del Rey, Ca.
-A Feast Fest tape will have to be reviewed in slow motion in order to determine whether or not the event will suffer a point docking from the NCA.

NCA rules according to Feast Fest say that 20 of the 61 chefs must be on the Floor at any given time during the Official Cooking Portion, or else the NCA will dock points. It does say that once the chef count slips to 19 or lower, thirty seconds will be given for the count to creep back up to 20. If this happens, points will NOT be docked.

At 2:52 p.m. Thursday, during a lull in the action, the chef count slipped to 18. Fifteen seconds later, William Fredriks re-entered to put the count at 19. And, nearly another fifteen seconds later, Jawroldy Jurrjens re-entered to put the count at the minimum 20.

The trouble lies in determining how many seconds had passed by the time Jurrjens re-entered, as it seemed to be smack on the thirty-second line. The NCA will now resort to slow motion replay techniques to determine whether the thirty-second mark had passed when Jurrjens stepped back into the Kitchen and whether or not points will be docked.
