8
Could be 9 in person but we can't see the whole box. What look like brushstrokes on the right side and uneven cut on front left rib is why I'm at 8. These do look yummy

7 These look tasty but the pieces aren't uniform in size and they're unevenly sauced. The pieces are not in the middle of the box.

Paul KCBS/CBJ

7 - Uneven color, uneven trim, average looking.

8 despite bad pic ribs look good. slight width differences kept it from a 9

Larry MCBJ

I can't score a box without seeing the whole thing. The bottom 1/3 is missing here.

Randy Stewart KCBS CBJ

Score: 8 - Nice color, good placement in the box (as much as I can see), slicing job is pretty good, one rib on the right seems smaller than the rest, overall nice looking box.

Dick-MCBJ/CTC
1/27/2013 12:36:33 am

Score 8. It is very hard to judge these ribs when all we can see is the top of the ribs covered with sauce. Score if I could actually view the meat could be totally different.

Fred KCBS

a little too much garnish, but overall nice 8

BBQ Critic
1/31/2013 07:02:28 pm

Please remember we do not judge garnish in a KCBS contest. If are going to talk about garnish, please score your entry first and then comment on garnish as a SUGGESTION. Thanks! ;-)

Dan KCBS CTC,MCBJ

Pic makes it difficult to judge fairly. Will side with the cook and score 8.

BBQ Critic
1/31/2013 07:03:37 pm

Dan, KUDOS! On giving the “benefit of the doubt” to the cook. However, cooks – please remember to send photos showing the whole box. Another box like this one will be rejected from publication. Thanks!

7 - Nice looking ribs, but the "two bones up & two bones down" doesn't help presentataion. Also, it might have helped if the box was centered in the photo.

Bill F

8 Picture not complete but give it the benefit, nice color, clean slicing, might taste just right.

BBQ Critic

Bill - Kudos! On giving the cook the “benefit of the doubt.”

Frank KCBS MCBJ

9. Love to taste one. Whole box in the picture please.

Greg MCBJ/KCBS
1/27/2013 02:51:17 am

score=7 not real appealing, might be tasty

Matt KCBS CBJ
1/27/2013 03:34:26 am

9 - Excellent! Those ribs look great. Nice work.

Ed KCBS MCBJ
1/27/2013 05:10:29 am

Nice clean cuts, sizes off just a little.
Looks to be a pretty even glaze, will postpone my thoughts of how the sauce will affect taste till taste portion of judging.
If you had two more good bones, I'd put them in.
Very good 8.

Neil CBJ/KCBS, FBA
1/27/2013 05:17:20 am

7 for sure, but it could be an 8 in person.

Ike, CBJ/KCBS
1/27/2013 07:14:20 am

A little too uneven on the slices and possibly too much sauce. 7, maybe an 8 in person.

Bill C. - MCBJ/CTC KCBS
1/27/2013 07:19:48 am

8. Nice glaze, but couldn't see the whole box.

Suggestion: Rearrange the lettuce so that it's evenly spaced in the box.

Kendall - CBJ
1/27/2013 07:33:45 am

Looks great, I'd give it a 9.

Seaton Hall
1/27/2013 08:31:39 am

8. Something not right with the front row far right piece.

Shawn-KCBS CBJ
1/27/2013 09:26:07 am

I would give this box an 8. Ribs look very nice but there is nothing in the presentation that makes it pop.

Doug KCBS Master CBJ & CTC
1/27/2013 09:49:04 am

Photo isn't centered very well so we can't see all of the ribs. What I can see looks good though. From what I can see this box looks like a 9, excellent.

Delayne

9 good looking ribs

Chaz D kcbs cbj
1/27/2013 10:42:59 am

Shame we cant see the whole box. The ribs look really good but the cuts are a bit crooked and you really need to eliminate the brush marks. Solid 8

BBQ Critic
1/31/2013 07:00:01 pm

Cooks, when you submit boxes please make sure we can see the whole box. This type of box will be rejected next time because the judges cannot see everything. Thanks!

Score a 9. Would maybe slant the middle front two ribs so the ring and meat could be seen better.

eight--from what I can see looks good--could be tighter

bad photo, but excellent looking ribs! clean cuts, even smooth glaze/sauce, even coloration, etc.
Need to learn how to take a photo for a proper judging box IMHO. Take whole box and not get the shadow in the photo.

BlueSmoke KCBS CBJ/COMP COOK

Good color and shine. Not to much sauce. Evenly cut. 9

Greg cbjkcbs

7. Need to see more of the ribs in the box. Can't tell what the restbofnit looks like.

Tony S CBJ

9 Wow outstanding

Dwain

9 - excellent

Old Goat

8 Nice color, uneven ribs, peek at side rib indicates dryness

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
1/30/2013 01:26:03 am

7 ~ 8 - First, the picture is not the best with the shadow on the right and the angle of the shot. Having said that, the ribs in front are not the same size as the ribs in back, giving an asymmetrical appearance. Also, the ribs in back aren't placed evenly. These are nit-picky distinctions, but that's what makes a difference in competition BBQ.

    NAME FIELD ON FORM:
     State name/CBJ Organization (i.e, Tom - CBJ/KCBS). CBJ=Certified BBQ Judge

    EMAIL FIELD ON FORM:
    You must be a "registered" BBQ Critic Online Judge in order to judge boxes on this site. Proof of registration is your email. All registered judges are required add their email to the email form field. Emails are kept private and not published. If you do not list your email, your score/post will not appear on the site.

    SCORE/REASONS FOR SCORE: Score this entry and give reasons for your score. DO NOT mention garnish or smoke rings in your reasons for scoring. We judge meat only.

    SUGGESTIONS: Feel free to offer any suggestions on how to improve the box (keep separate from reasons why you scored the box). You can mention anything here such as garnish suggestions.

    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. ;-)
