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.

7 - Uneven color, uneven trim, average looking.

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

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.

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.

a little too much garnish, but overall nice 8

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! ;-)

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

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.

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

7 for sure, but it could be an 8 in person.
Ike, CBJ/KCBS

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

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

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.

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

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!

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. Comments are closed.

CERTIFIED BBQ JUDGES:
Please score this BBQ Competition box using the KCBS scoring system below. 9-Excellent 8-Very Good 7-Above Average 6-Average 5-Below Average 4-Poor 3-Bad 2-Inedible 1-DISQUALIFIED (give reason). Click on BOX # in title of post above photo. Fill out the "LEAVE A REPLY" form and use the following format to TITLE each section in your post: 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. ;-) Archives by Month
