8- The chicken is well sauced, has a nice color, and is arranged nicely. This would have been a 9 if the pieces were uniform in size and shape.

Score: 8 - Nice color, trim is unifor, placement is good but a bit off in spacing, some pieces are a bit too different in size but overall, a nice looking box.

9 - This is a very nice appearing box of chicken. Mind you, it's not perfect...the pieces are not "cookie cutter"(thank goodness) nor are they equally spaced, but they're very nice appearing nonetheless.

7. Trim is uneven, meat looks over-sauced and portions are not of equal size.
Ike, CBJ/KCBS

Uneven pieces and too much sauce. I really can't score this sample more than a 7.

8. Nice looking box except the chicken is over-sauced and spacing needs improvement.

I'd give it an 8. Looks great other than the pieces are not all the same size.

I would give this box an 8 and just barely. I like the portion size and the glisten of the samples. I do not like the abnormalities of the lower right and upper center pieces. I do not like the red color. Looks like the meat is "candied".

I would give this box an 8. Chicken has a very nice color but the pieces are not uniform.

Lighting in photo is dark, so meat is hard to see. Looks good though. Main issue is that the sizes of the thighs is not uniform. I'd give this an 8.

I hate to say it but that bottom right hand piece is killing me. It looks like a big fat lobster claw. The meat is uneven in size and shape but it looks really delicious. I'd still give ya'll an 8.

Harv – KUDOS! on not allowing the garnish to impact your score. Also, cooks reading this – be mindful not to bury your meat in garnish. This box does not present a major problem with that, but if it did – you may have a lower score if we cannot “see the meat.”

eight--goood looking chicken--need more uniformity in pieces

6 - The whole box is not very appetizing to me. The size and shape of the chicken is inconsistent. The red color is what does not appeal to me and does not encourage me to want to eat the meat.

8 - The ribs appears to be just a little over glazed but still good. Hard to tell but the first row first and last rib appear to be a little more cooked than the rest of the ribs. This appears to me because the rib bones are more visible than the other. I would like to try these though.

8. If you would have the same sizes for all of your pieces it would have been a 9. Also make sure everything is evenly arranged.

Score = 8. Nice looking box. Only problem I have is the uniformity of the pieces.
Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS

8 - Nice color; a little too much sauce for me; the front right and back middle thighs should be replaced with more symmetrical pieces. It's only a little distracting, but enough that the box doesn't warrant a 9. Comments are closed.

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
