9. Very nice box. A little heavy on the sauce, but still a good entry.

8 Would have been a 9 but way too much sauce.

Score/Reasons = 7, with all that sauce it just doesn't look all that appetizing to me.

9 - Nice uniformity. Some might say it's over-sauced but looks delicious to me.

8. Very nice presentation. There is a little to much sauce for me though.

Score/Reasons: 7; Not a big fan of brisket bathed in sauce- less is more. Having said that, the box is very nicely laid out.

Score/Reasons: 8 - this is a beautfully constructed & presented box . . . except for having waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much sauce on it. I want to judge the meat, not have it be buried beneath a thick sauce gravy.

Score/reasons = 8/Beautiful box; meat is perfectly balanced; the only problem is too much sauce!

9 - I am struggling with the abundance of sauce. But the slices are so perfect, I cannot let the over sauce knock this score down. I want to taste this brisket.

8 - Overly sauced. Back off the sauce a liitle and let the meat show more. Sauce gets thicker towards the front of the box.

Very, very nice. All that sauce takes away the anticipation and a point.

8 - Over sauced...even covers-up the burnt ends.

8 - Very Solid Entry. Excellent slicing, consistent and very appetizing. It isn't clear to me what the offering is in the lower portion of the box. It has a dark rick hue, but I don't know what it it... Burnt ends perhaps? A little heavy on the sauce for my tastes, less would have scored higher.

Score = 7: Too much sauce and can't really see any of the slices. It is a meat contest, not a sauce contest.

score / reason 7 It would of scored higher if it didn't look like you were covering up your product with so much sauce. Makes you wonder what your hiding.

Score/Reason - 8, Very good arrangement, even slices. Sauce on the slices is borderline heavy but still translucent, but sauce on burnt ends appears to be too heavy.

9 - very nice box. Use a little less sauce on slices next time.

Score/Reasons = 7, Way too much sauce. Makes the meat appear slimy and unappetizing. The ends are cover so much, one can hardly tell where the pieces are cut. The ends look like one large piece of meat.

7. Nice looking arrangement, but way too much sauce. Can't really see the meat.

6.....way over sauce. No way to judge the meat. Probably would have been a high scoring box.

7- Too dark and too much sauce. The slices look nice and uniform, clean cuts but they appear oversauced.

Score/Reasons = 8, This is a beautiful box that should have been a 9 but for the heavy handed sauce. A light glaze is all you need. That said, I still want a piece.

Appearance 7- This brisket to me is way over sauced. It would appear that the beefiness would be lost with that much sauce. Does not look to appetizing with all that sauce. This may even be worthy of a 6.

To much sauce on the burnt ends and meat. 8
Bob CBJ/KCBS

Score 6 The placement in the box looks very good. Unfortunately, the samples are so over sauced, that judging the actual meat is difficult. Especially, when all I can see of the slices is the top edge and not any of the surface slice.

Score/Reasons = 8, could be the lighting, but seems too dark and the sauce is just too heavy.

8- this box was almost perfect - plenty of meat - burnt end samples - good garnishing, I can't understand why so much sauce on an other-wise great box. I still want a taste.

A bit heavy-handed with the glaze/sauce but still a solid 9. Perfectly placed in the box. Great job! 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
