6 - The meat itself just looks ok, and the overall presentation is a mess. Need to trim up that chicken a little, and seeing the pulled chicken on bottom sort of takes away from the overall presentation to me.

Chicken appears to be needing a bit more trimming before it's cooked. Shoot for symmetry.

Uneven pieces, gobby sauce. Team needs to decide to either use garnish or not....half and half isn't very appealing. Possibly a 7.

Rough looking chicken. Untrimmed, different sizes, blochey sauce, uneven color.......5. May be a DQ depending on what is in the bottom of the box.

7 - would like to see pieces that were a little more similar in size, plus the front middle piece is less sauced than the others, adding to the lack of uniformity. Regarding the meat underneath, if you put it in the box, even just to keep the thighs above warm, I have to try it, so it better be solid or it can drag down your taste and tenderness scores.

6 - I love the idea of "natural" (no muffin or cupcake pans) chicken, but these needed more care taken with trimming for shape as well as taking more care with the skin...it shrunk up and exposed the meat, and simply appears rather ragged.

Score 7. This could hav been an excellent entry. I would suggest that this team select chicken pieces more equal in size and also cover the center area of the box with the parsley. With the center of the box being white it distracts from the rest of the box and our eyes are immediately drawn to this area.

If KCBS event and if setting on foil it's a DQ.

8. Sauce looks a bit heavy, may be the picture. Not sure about the pulled chicken bed.

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
