6. Look moist. Nice layout. Arrangement of cubes does not reflect a pattern. Bark cubes and therefore the different colors are randomly placed. Grain of meat is sometimes horizontal and sometimes vertical. The 5 slices (a DQ in some associations) appear to be of different widths and the ends are ragged.

Score = DQ Unless there's another slice hiding somewhere one judge isn't going to get a sample.

First off I only see 5 slices, there may well be 6 but I can't see it.

I give this one a high 8, the meat looks moist, but just not real appealing.

9 - Great looking brisket box. Appears moist. One judge may get only B.E.'s - Hope they are as good as they look.

Score/Reasons: 8 - Nice looking box of brisket...even though there appear to be only 5 slices presented. The box is legal, but I deducted one point for the raggedy ends of the slices.

6 - Fair entry. I am assuming that there are six slices in the box, even though I am counting only five. If there are indeed only five, then the score would have to be 1. The bark on the slices appears too light for my tastes. The third slice from the burnt ends could benefit from having the left end cleaned up. The slices and the burnt ends both look juicy, good job there. The burnt ends vary quite a bit in color. It was generous to include ten burnt ends but your arrangement could have benefited from less meast and a little more space.

7 - Burnt ends different sizes and colors. Slices have goobers all over and ragged ends.

9 - Nice job. Burnt ends could be cut more uniform and all should show bark.

Score/Reasons = 8. Meat looks good, but box is a bit crowded.

Score- 6 Doing the algebra on this box I only come up with 5 slices of brisket. That is not going to go over well with the judge at the end of table. Burnt ends are a little on the chunky side and very inconsistent.

Score/Reasons = 6, lacking nice bark. Not appetizing color or look to the meat. Chunks are rather large and crammed in the box.

I could be the 6 th judge with a 5 slices turn in box.

Score = 9, Color on the burnt ends looks uneven, but not enough to bring the score down.

Score/Reasons = 9, looks moist and pretty appetizing. Definitely not perfect, but doesn't have to be to be a 9.

Score/Reasons = 7, burnt ends look greasy, the edges of the slices look uneven and the spices in sauce detract from the sauce.

8...meat looks moist. Nice bark on the Burnt ends. The clunkers in the sauce takes away from the appearance. Ragged ends.

7- Box is full , But you have only 5 slices, judge #6 doesn't get one. You also have 10 huge chunks of meat at the top. Kind of over-powering for me.

Score/Reasons = 7, Busy Box! 5 Slices? Poor cuts. Tiny bits in the sauce not appealing. 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
