Pale, dry looking slices with that unappetizing band of fat and crumbles on the slice faces. The seeds? on the square ends don't need to be there either. I would guess just by looking that the square ends have not been simmered long enough.

Score/Reasons = 8, It could be the picture but the slices appear a bit light with a grayish tinge that detracts from the eye appeal of the meat.

5 - unappetizing all over.

Score = 8, There is a big dark spot on the left side of the front slice. Can't tell if that is bark or something else, but most of the other slices don't have that so it looks out of place. Also there are big specks of something on slices 1, 5 & 6 that take away from the appearance.

7. Burnt ends look good but slices take away from the presentation.

7. Look like serration marks from a knife. Also color is to light for my taste.

8- the right side of the first slice has on odd dark spot. Should remove the fat along the bottom of the slice...

Score/Reasons = 6, average looking at best.Color is off on slices. Knife marks on slices. Left side of slices are ragged, but right side is cut cleanly. Slices are not wide enough. Seasoning or something is evident on several slices that just shouldn't be there.

Score/Reasons: 7 - The BE's look pretty good. The sliced looks gray and boring to me. I acknowledge it could be the photo and/or it could be my PC. Either way, I only can see what's before more in the medium in which it's presented.

6. Wow. Crazy box. The slices are unappetizing in terms of color, and the thickness of the cut makes me think mush. The burnt ends looks MUCH better. Honestly, I would have just put those in the box and hoped for the best.

Score/Reasons = 6. The leading slice has an unusual dark area on the left end, and the fatty edge (which appears to be the fat in the overlap area between the flat and point muscles) is not appealing. Almost all slices have crumbles on them, and in contrast to the right edge of the slices, the left edges look rough. The slices appear dry. The burnt ends have a good color and the placement of the meat in general fills the box nicely.

Score 6 Dull looking box. Samples appear dry. Would have been better to even the ends of the slices on the left side, also. Does not look appetizing.

6 - The slices (could be the picture) look grey and unappetizing. The slicing itself looks sloppy. In general the burnt ends look a little better.

7...Not an appetizing looking box. Slices has goobers and looks dry. Nice bark on the Burnt Ends but look dry. Nothing really special about the box.

Overall a 7 -- burnt ends look nice. It's the slices, look too bland, not cut even and don't like the squared off look.

6. Slices look grey and a little dry. Looks like it needs some sauce. Fairly uniform slices. Burnt ends look pretty good

7 - Meat looks dry and could use a little saucing. The slicing is very uneven. The burnt ends are also not very uniform.

Score/Reasons = 7 (maybe 8 in person). Box is nice and full. Slices appear to be moist and uniform in thickness and color. Knife marks visible. Pieces of something scattered on several slices. Burnt ends are of nice size, color and mostly uniform.

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. ;-)
