7. Good color, look moist, and nice layout. However, thick sauce hides knife skills and top right cube is too far right and not lined up with others which upsets balance of display in box.

I would rate this a 7. Uneven cooking and too wet.

First thought was meatloaf and a piece of beef jerky.

I give this one a high 8. May have scored higher if it had been fanned out some to see the meat.

Score/Reasons: 7 - From what I can see of the meat, it appears dry. Plus, it appears waaaaaayyyyyy oversauced. Maybe it's the photo...or my laptop that I'm using for this exercise, but I actually can't tell how many (I guess they're) slices are in the box.

7- Pic at an odd angle. Can't see the anything but the edge of the meat. Would appear better if laid a little flatter to show the side. Appears to have a sauce applied to the back half and the B.E.'s.

6 - Fair entry. The slices are arranged so that it is difficult to see the cut clearly. It appears as though you may be trying to highlight the bark. But it raises a question if you were trying to hide the interior. The burnt ends are a little dark, but still a good color. Overall there is too much sauce, less would enhance the look. Also appears like there is more sauce on the slices nearer the box fold.. Showing the interior of the slices and lighter more consistent saucing would raise this score by more than a point.

6 - Can't see the meat and what I do appears over sauced.

8 - Slices should be laid out a little instead of all stuck together.

Score/Reasons = 6. Tough to judge as all I see is sauce. I can't quite count the pieces but I can tell there are enough.

Score - 7? This is a case where photography lets the entry down since it's shot from directly overhead. I assume there are six good samples in that box plus some burnt ends at the back? Hard to say what I'm looking at here.

Score/Reasons = 6, Can't tell what that strip along the top is, guessing chunks but can't tell. Sauce is glompy and the slices are indistinguishable.

I can't judge. I can watch only the top over sauced side w/o bark.

Score = 7, Too much sauce on the brisket. Can't see the front of the slices.

Score/Reasons = 5, not appetizing with all that sauce on it! I thought this was a meat contest!!! Can't even tell if there are 6 separate pieces in there!

Score/Reasons = 7, meets the criteria for an entry and an attempt was made to include burnt ends, but there's no pizazz and I can't see the slices to judge the color and appearance of the important parts.

6.....Way over sauced and blotchy. Slices not fanned so the Judges can see the meat. The Burnt Ends have good bark but over sauced.

Score/Reasons = 8, Way too much sauce. Besides the amount of sauce applied, it was not applied evenly.

7 I can't see all the meat, looks to me it's the top. Is the cooks hiding something or is he new?

Score/Reasons = 6, Where's the Beef? By only showing the top surface you take away from the appearance. 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
