Hopefully it's just the photo because otherwise the color of this entry is not very appealing. Meat looks dry. 7, maybe an 8 in person.

8 Tough one to call, need better light on the subject, looks dry though, overall a generous presentation.

8. May be a 9 in person. The lighting and color are off here and suggest dryness. Slices appear to be sitting a bit low in the box due the way the burnt ends and garnish is arranged.

8 - beautiful box. If the meat didn't look dry, it'd be an easy 9. Maybe it's the photo.

Nice box. I like the garnish with the presentation as i do not like overkill. I would give this box a very high 8 to a 9

Score 9 - Lots of meat and a large brisket. It might be overcooked, but the taste and texture scores will tell if it is.

Photo makes the color of the meat appear bland and drab. It also looks dry. The chunks in front look good, but also dry. I'd give this box a 7 based on the photo.

You can always tell when someone takes a lot of care putting their box together and this is one of them. I think the photo gives the meat that kind of nasty grayish color and its hard to see any moisture. Maybe a great box in person but the photo takes this one down to an 8.

6 Very neatly arranged but is not appetizing. Poor color and no sheen.

My first thought is you have two different sections of slices from two briskets,not the best look. your row of BE's are longer than the slices and throw off the balance of the box.

A 7. Looks dry. Good knife skills. Way more slices than needed and they are of unequal length.

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
