Looks a bit oversauced and could have done a little better on getting it even in the box since one end is partially covered, but looks like it would taste great. I'd give it an 8.

8....Nice bark on the slices. Looks like Burnt bark on the Burnt Ends. Evenly sauced. Uniform slices. The white specks are distracting.

Score/Reasons: 8 - Very nice looking box . . . an easy 9, except for the thick gloppy sauce.

Like some ladies I know this entry is a little too saucy. On a tasting score I'd be concerned that taste of beef might not come through well enough. For an appearance score I'd give it an 8. Nice arrangement in the box and good slicing. It's darker than most brisket entries and if that is due to overcooking that may explain the amount of sauce.

Score/Reasons = 7/Too much sauce; meat appears to dark. Can't really see the meat for the sauce.

Nice even slices of brisket (I think), arrangement of slices could be improved. Square ends are unimpressive. A poor job of saucing, it's much too thick and creates pools between slices.

8 - just a tad dark for me, otherwise looks good.

Score/Reasons = 8, with so much sauce it makes it difficult to truly see the meat and give an accurate appearance score, but from what I can see it looks Very Good to me. Looks un-natural - too red and dark.

Score 8. I deducted a point due to the coating of liquid (sauce ?) covering the meat. I would also like to see more of the slices exposed and the box readjusted to allow more exposure to the sides.

8 - Looks moist, appears almost sauced. Nice mahogany color.

8 - too much sauce otherwise, nice box.

8, the meat looks like it was a bit re-hydrated with the glaze. Very nice though.

Score 8, Without the white specs, I would have given this box a 9 for the nice looking moist, bark laden promise of great flavor that you see immediately in this entry.

9, looks a little wet but I couldn't give an 8 to this rich looking box. White sprinkle looks like a pretty shimmer

7- way too much sauce is the main concern.

Score/Reasons = 9, I like it. Striking mahogany color.

Score/Reasons = 9 This is an excellent presentation and the meat fills the box nicely. The arrangement is fairly standard (which is fine) and in addition the meat looks moist. The sauce is borderline heavy, but it is somewhat translucent, in person the sauce may lower my score to an 8.

7 - Over sauced, not centered in box(top/bottom), and white spots make me think of sand.

7- dark, thick, lots o sauce. worry points. Could go a 6, as just doesn't look appetizing. Expecting gloppy, mushy.

Score/Reasons: 7. Too much sauce.
Greg Hastie

Score/Reasons =8, the meat looks appetizing. However, with all the sauce it is hard to tell the real appearance of the meat its ultimately covered by sauce/glaze but still looks nice.
Vern KCBS MCBJ

9 - Nice bark and shine. Maybe too much sauce...

Score 8 Nice uniform slices and ends. Would of given a 9, except meat is over glazed, making it difficult to fully evaluate.

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
