5 - need to have some slices. not well organized. looks fatty and gristly.

9...Nice color. Meat looks moist.

Score = 8. Chunks are even in size and look tasty....however box looks empty and that distracts from the meat.

8. nice cubes, even color, look moist. However, they appear to have been placed haphazardly.
David - CMBJ/KCBS
12/17/2013 01:49:36 am
Score - 7. The color of the sample pieces is not very good or consistent and the random placement takes away from the appeal and overall look
Dick-MCBJ/CTC

Score 8. The only reason I can offer for this score is it was a shock to see a box of only ends. I do not recall ever seeing this presentation with brisket. The meat appears great and I can only wonder why the cook made this decision.
Tiffany - KCBS CBJ
12/17/2013 02:11:22 am
Score/Reasons = 7, the meat looks pale although moist cook seems somewhat inconsistent
Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
12/17/2013 02:18:22 am
Score = 8, Color makes it look a little bland. Also looks a little greasy.

Score/Reasons = 8, Burnt ends are a favorite of many. These appear to be cubed pieces of the point. Judged as presented, the fat looks nicely rendered with a light amount of saucing and I am anxious to get a taste of this.

8 - I suspect that some judges will rate this box down because it lacks slices. That's wrong. We should judge what is in the box and not what isn't. I gave it an 8 because the arrangement of the burnt ends is somewhat haphazard; however, they look like excellent burnt ends.

6 - No wow factor. Just chunks thrown into box and garnish covers some product.

9 - Looks moist. Great color. Excellent entry.

Score/Reasons: 7 - The pieces, themselves, look moist, attractive, and not oversauced. But, they appear simply to have been dumped into the box...and they look lost in there. While it didn't affect my score, if the intent was to present a box of burnt ends, this box appears to me to fall short and contain only cubes of brisket.

8 looks good but offering seems sparce. add a little more volume to build up the presentation a little.

9 - What is not to like? The biggest decision is which two to take. I really like this one, nice color, nice moisture.

5, the color looks bad, the meat does not look like "I want to eat a piece of that". I always wondered about a box with all burnt ends, if they are good, nothing wrong with that. This box just don't look right to me
Shawn-KCBS CBJ and Comp cook

I would score this box an 8. It looks as if the fat May have needed some more time to break down.
Bobby Whitefield

I want slices! This box looks like nothing more than left overs. While attractive greenery, I would not score it higher than a 5 or 6.

A slightly different style entry but the meat looks great. Enough pieces for the judges to take 2 if they want to and some for the TC as well. Not smothered in sauce either. Well deserved 9.

5-does not look good at all. Gray meat. Needs more sauce, where are the slices. Fat lines show that the meat could have cooked more.

Score/Reasons = 8, placement of the cubes should be more uniform, there is a cube on the lower right that is just sticking from the rest. Also, cut the meat so the cubes would be more consistent in size. I like the different look of the cubes instead of the normal slices.

7 - The cubes look moist and appealing, however the presentation could have been enhanced by adding slices from the flat.

Score/Reasons = 8 Not all that pretty but looks moist and appetizing non the less.

Score/Reasons = 9, burnt ends look juicy and nicely cooked

9. I suppose I could complain about the lettuce, but this is a meat contest. Nice job.

8 I just want to grab one of those morsel of beef. The box possibly could have been fuller.
Michael KCBS MCBJ CTC

8 - looks moist, spend a little more time in arranging the burnt ends, looks like just dumped in.
Jeff KCBS CBJ
12/25/2013 06:52:41 am
score/reason 7 is this burnt ends or pot roast??? color looks off, randomly tossed in the box no wow factor
Chaz D KCBS CBJ

Score: 8 Burnt ends should be a bit more burnt.

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
