7. Nice layout and arrangement. Look moist. Top right cube should be switched with middle top left to present a balanced pattern in the box. Slices are of different lengths.

Slices going two different ways and full of specs is not doing the looks any favors. They look nice and moist though. The square ends look delish, nice bark, hopefully full of flavor.

I give this one a high 8, Looks kind of sloppy in the box. But meat looks like something I would want to eat.

7 - Good entry, The slices here look juicy and show an attractive variation of color from bark to interior. The slice farthest to the right, the presenting one, is longer than any of the others. Maybe either trimming it or selecting a slice closer to the size of the others would have helped. Unique arrangement to include the burnt ends in the corners. The burnt ends vary quite a bit in size, I would suggest trimming them to be more consistent. That said, if I were judge 1 I would reach for the largest.

8 - Burnt ends should be cut more uniform. Looks nice and moist. Too much char on some of the burnt ends.

Score = 8, Length of the slices are uneven, first slice is much longer than the rest. The cuts on the burnt ends look ragged and size is uneven.

Score/Reasons = 8, looks a bit dry and too dissimilar to be a 9. Attention to details would help.

Score/Reasons = 8, Even though there is a sheen on the slices, they still look slightly dry. The ends should be the same size and have the same color. Some here are dark and others are light.

7. Fat on bottom of slices is in appealing and slices look very light in color.

Score/Reasons = 7, I like the non-standard layout. However the unevenness of the cubes and slices are very distracting.

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
