Format to follow for judging:

8 very nice, but I like to see burnt ends

7 - Looks dry, no visible bark, well trimmed.

Comments: Center your meat in the middle of the box to make a better visual presentation..

8 nice box

8 looks a little dry. maybe needs a little glaze. it also looks sliced fairly thin which leads me to believe it may have been on the tough side. thin appearance could be due to photo angle.

7
Big debate between 6 & 7, so gave it to the cook.
Looks pretty average. Definitely dry and very monotone in color. Would have helped to have had other types of meat in the box, but I'm not taking off for what's not there, it would have given contrast to the appearance.
Full box - that's good, good even placement - that's good.

Score: 7-8
Comments: Difficult to tell with picture, it is blurry. Looks like a solid brisket, but not a wow box to give you a 9.

8 - Possibly a 9 in person. The white balance is off and not quite focused. Very nice box.

9 Nice lineup (but I wish for more light in the photo). I'm only guessing on moisture, texture, etc.

8. The extra back slices are noticeably of different shape than the others. Its a 9 if they were removed.

7 - nice presented, but looks uninteresting to me. Meat appears grey, dull and lifeless. Maybe it's the photo...at least I hope so.

My score on this brisket would be an 8, possibly a 9 in person. Slices are even and meat looks like it has been cooked very well. However, it does look a little dry... might not be the case in person.

8....Even slices. Good color and bark. Meat looks dry.


Put some moisture on the meat to take away the dry look.

Greg MCBJ/KCBS

score=9
well trimed, well presented. I would have liked some burnt ends

8. the only thing keeping this box from a 9 is some glisten. SHOW ME THIS MEAT IS JUICY!

9 really nice looking box, note that a lot if judges look for burnt ends. Not supposed to judge based on that though.

Larry MCBJ

Looking at the fuzzy picture, I can't tell much about the appearance or moisture however, the box is well laid-out and could do well. No score from me on this.

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
3/10/2013 04:12:57 am

Score = 9

Photo looks blurry and the color looks washed out, but gave the benefit of the doubt to keep the score at a 9 rather than drop it to an 8.

Ed KCBS MCBJ

Pretty nice presentation. Looks like the back 2 or 3 slices have been reversed, harms continuity. Not the best picture, it looks like the meat could be dry.
I think above average 7.

Kendall - CBJ
3/10/2013 12:50:53 pm

They look tasty, I'd give it a 9!

mike cannon

7 - looks pale and dry

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
3/10/2013 04:32:16 pm

Scores/Reasons: 7/Meat looks dry and overdone. No apparent moisture and the color is dull and gray. No burnt ends!

David

Shawn-KCBS CBJ

I would give this box a 9. Everything is uniform and is looking good!

Jim S. KCBS CBJ

Appearance Score: 7
Meat looks dry.

Matt KCBS CBJ

SCORE/REASONS: 7 - above average. Blurry picture doesn't help, but meat looks dry and a bit on the grey side.

Douglas Winter

I would give this an 8, for one reason the Brisket looks dry, but that can be the picture as well. Other than that its uniform in size and placement. good looking box just not Excellent.

Matt KCBS CBJ
3/20/2013 01:22:15 pm

8 - Very Good - Looks a little dry is all.

FP-CBJ

I would rate this entry an 8 for appearance based on the pic. If it looked moist in person it would be a 9. Nice work!

    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. ;-)
