KCBS in Belgium BE

How Belgium stacks up (against all 96 regions on file)

The bar is BE's standing on that measure: a full bar is the region that leads it, an empty one is the region that trails it. Rate-based measures need a minimum body of results before a region is ranked at all, so a single hot weekend can't buy a place. The median is the middle region, not the average — one huge region would drag an average somewhere no region actually is.

Regions like this one

Matched on the shape of the scene — how many contests it runs, how deep the fields get, how the room scores and how often it hands out a 180 — not on the map. Counts are compared on a log scale, because 5 contests to 15 is a different scene while 300 to 310 is the same one.

How the room scores (every judged meat, against the sport as a whole)

A lower average means a harder room. “vs sport” is this region's average minus the same meat's average everywhere KCBS is scored. Belgium marks pork ribs hardest — 5.88 points below the rest of the sport.
