8 - Looks nice, 1 point deduction for the white chunks in the sauce.

7 (Above Average) Odd shape to the slices. Is it point meat of some sort of cover up trimming. Just doesn't look like BBQ. Above average because it does look like it might taste good.

Not bad, but no wow factors. Looks moist and bark looks good. But the layout is not appealing and the top left slice should not have been used...it's split

7. Too much glaze/sauce.

6 maybe 7
I'd be asking the table captain to get clarification as to whether this should be DQ'd for the size of the chunks in the sauce.
This is another typical example of the over-trimmed spam can brisket we see so often. I can't blame the teams though. Plenty of judges will mark down for fat which is IMHO utterly ridiculous especially on brisket. It says right in the red judges handbook when describing meat types how the fat is necessary to keep brisket moist and impart flavor.. Lots of fun discussing this subject with other judges at events.

I like the way the underlying meat looks but that is a tad paint at the junction of the two facing slices for me. Also looking further the large spice chunks were distracting and I started to wonder should I avoid biting on them or not?

5 because that meat appears to be cut with the grain, If it is cut across the grain I would raise to a 6 fill up the box, too much sauce on the face of the slices, why are the slices so short?

I'd give it an 8. From the picture it looks like not all of the entries are the same size.

Isn't it weird that your eye goes to the spot on the box FIRST. Wipe it off. Very appetizing meat, I wish the front slice were oriented like the rest of the slices.

I'd have to see this in person....Those seeds(?) look larger than 1/8 inch.

Giving the doubt to the cook, 8- remove the goobers for a 9.

7-- Just average some splotchy sauce, would like to see more meat

s/r, 8/9,looks good. the pieces are cut maybe a little to thick.

Score 8. What looks to be nice brisket has been coated with a pepper (?) sauce. Change the sauce and I believe this could be a nine.

Score: 7 - First thing that jumped out is the sauce, too much for me; second was it's sliced with the grain, makes it look tough to me, third, I couldn't tell much about the bark due to the excess sauce, bark is a big point getter with me.

5 - I can't tell, it like the slices are made with the grain, not against;the top 3 pieces appear to be split in the middle, and the bottom piece is not uniform in size; it could just be the photo; these seem to be small pieces for a brisket.

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. ;-)
