Score/Reasons = 8, The burnt ends look like an afterthought. I would remove a couple slices and make your chunks larger.

Score/Reasons = 9. This entry has great balance, color and appears to be nice and moist. Wonderful presentation on the slices and the burnt ends, as they fill the box right up. It makes me want to dig right in.

Score/Reasons: 8 - Lagal box, but slices look dry. In addition, the slices are not as untiform as they could be. BE's look great.

Score/Reasons = 8, I can see a light sheen, but the cracking in the slices makes the meat look a bit dry. BEs look great from this angle!

Score 8. This entry would be presented better if the brisket slices were reduced. More is not always better. I would suggest that the cook pick the better slices and reduce the amount in the box slightly.

I can't find anything wrong with this, looks like a 9 all the way. Nice cuts, meat looks just right, and always happy not to see a bunch of gravy slathered on the slices. Burnt ends are hard to see but will give benefit of the doubt that they're moist but not too wet.

8= box lacks uniformity, burnt ends have a sauce, possibly too much, and slices don't have a glaze making them appear to be dry. Still looks tasty to me.

Beautiful box of brisket, only thing to improve it would be to remove shards of crumble from tops of slices. Not enough to lose the

Appearance 7- very full box, always good. Make the slices look a little more uniform. Smoke ring is really nice, but not supposed to used to judge the meat, but, as we all know, judges eat with their eyes, so, flaunt that smoke ring if it is good.

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
