Interesting arrangement....I think the slices have been trimmed too much. 8

9. Well manicured meat but I prefer a bit less gravy. Hope the burnt ends are as good as slices.

7 A bit sparse on presentation, and what is it about that cutting, somehow too even, squared off, bothersome.

8 can't see much wrong with this box, well presented - nice, uniform size. slightly uneven coating on front piece kept it from being a 9 for me.

7. Where's the meat? Slices small, leaving too much of box unfilled.

Box looks abit empty. there is an unevenness of sauce on the front slice of brisket. I would also recommend 3 chunks in each section rather than 3 3 2 It looks uneven that way. Overall i would give this box a 7

The slices look good but may be to much sauce. Burnt ends look good. The slices are to short and thd ends to small. Looks like they were short on meat. Lots care in making the box........9

Sauce on the slices looks uneven. The box looks empty even though there are more than enough pieces. Can't find enough to drop it down from a 9 though.

Please everyone stop trimming your meat till it looks like spam! The meat looks average due to the added sauce. I dislike boxes like this because they looked so processed. Luckily I judge the box based on what the cook was trying to present instead of my preferences so it gets a solid 8

5 Not appetizing at all. Color is bad. Looks more like meat loaf.

Nice box!!! However, the burnt ends symmetry of 3-3-2 makes me think one is missing. Solid 8 o/w could be a 9.

Pretty layout but no real pop making me want to elbow the judge next to me to get at it. The box looks a little empty.

8 - The box will not be presented to the judges at the angle this picture was taken. The judges will be viewing the box with the locking slots at the bottom. That being said, the symmetry of the box is off. I'm not sure how well that would work. I would like to see a frontal view. A bit over sauced.

7- the meat cubes look lost in the container with cutting the ends off of the brisket. Maybe try not cutting the brisket to make the container look more full.

I wanted to like this box but it looks over-thought. Slices are uniform and arranged to show grain, which I like to see. 8 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
