KCBS JUDGES: Please treat the foil as garnish and ignore it. Thanks! -- BBQ Critic

7 It is easy to say ignore the foil, but hard to do. Ribs appear over cooked.

Score: 7 - Color is a bit dark but could be the picture, slicing is okay, placement is uniform but ribs on the bottom could have been displayed a little more, over all the meat looks a bit over cooked.

7 just doesn't look good. seems to be over charred and covered up with sauce.

Roger/FBA Judge
1/19/2013 11:41:35 pm

Way to dark and just looks unappealing to my eye would go 7 to 7.5 according to taste.

Scott B - KCBS CBJ

5 - below average in presentation. Look a bit overlooked.

Paul KCBS/CBJ

6 - Dark, dry looking, and cut poorly.

Really dark, difficult to see. I'm being a little generous in giving a 6.

Ed KCBS MCBJ

Looks kinda dry, dark and overdone. Middle front rib has no visible bone to match the others. No real pop here.
This box is pretty average, 6

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Lighting in photo is very dark which makes the ribs look dark. They also look dry. I'd give this box a 7 maybe and 8.

Greg MCBJ/KCBS

score=7 meat could be good but not well displayed

Larry MCBJ

Bad Pic=no score.

6 - these ribs look dried out an unappealing to me.

Bill F

7 Presentation doesn't work, uneven look, too dark to judge fairly.

Lorne Rae

A DISQUALIFICATION because of foil garnish.

Ron Haag
1/20/2013 05:35:33 am

Not Legal, That being said. sauce looks puddled. Doesnt look very appetizing.If i coudl score it it would be a 6. just average BBQ

Dan KCBS CTC,MCBJ
1/20/2013 07:20:47 am

Not the best pic. 8

Frank KCBS MCBJ
1/20/2013 07:21:01 am

8. Could be higher in person. Ribs appear a little dark, but it may just be the photo exposure.

Dick-MCBJ/CTC

This entry is very hard to score for a KCBS judge. First, the foil does not allow a proper picture and out shines the ribs. Second, I can only see a poor picture with no side view of the ribs. It work be easier to score if we could actually view the meat, but then again as KCBS judges we would D/Q for the foil.

Should be DQ for "foreign object" (aluminum foil) in the box!

But to judge this box (since it is NOT for a judge to DQ):
5
BELOW AVERAGE! Looks burnt and very dry. Definitely NOT appetizing.

Kendall - CBJ
1/20/2013 12:47:56 pm

Even ignoring the foil, the presentation just isn't there. I'd give it a 6 only because the meat does look good.

Ike, CBJ/KCBS
1/20/2013 01:07:46 pm

Ribs are pretty even in size. Can't tell for sure by looking at the photo on whether they are over-cooked or not. More than likely they would be a high 7 or low 8.

Pat (Santa) Austin

KCBS CBJ, MIM, MBN - 8. Darker than I would like to see. Perhaps overdone? I get the feeling all the moisture has been cooked out of these.

john kcbs

Score 7: Looks burnt; not a very attractive box; looks skimpy

BlueSmoke KCBS CBJ/COMP COOK

Ribs look dry. Lot of empty space in the box.................7

Matt KCBS CBJ

7 - Above average.

Dwain
1/21/2013 07:00:59 am

7 - Lack of uniformity. Two of the first three pieces have bones exposed and one does not. Otherwise looks really good.

Shawn-KCBS CBJ

7. Color is very dark. Would like to see the side of the rib.

    Purpose

    The purpose of BBQ Critic's JudgeMyBox section is to provide feedback to competition cooks. Certified BBQ Judges who visit this site will score the photo of a contest box (using KCBS judging rules) and may optionally leave a comment explaining their score.

    The idea is to allow the cook to get inside the mind of a judge (judges do have varying opinions) so they can use this information to help improve scores on APPEARANCE.

    In turn, the BBQ Critic editorial team will provide feedback on some judge scores and commentary  that stray from the KCBS rules. This will help our judges become better judges and keeps everyone on the same page. Judges may also encounter some fun challenges at times (click for example).

    Comments about boxes or judges scores may be discussed in our online FORUM in a respectful manner.

    Please be mindful that scoring photo boxes may not be as accurate as scoring the box in person. Lighting, glare, angles, etc may affect the overall score. Judges also have more time to stare at your box, so that means we may get very detailed about the good and the bad.

    Have fun, judges! Oh, and cooks? Please send us your boxes. We love to judge Q here at BBQ Critic. ;-)
