Format to follow for judging:

SCORE/REASONS: Here you type your score and reasons for your score

SUGGESTIONS/COMMENTS: Here you can bring up items that did not affect your score, but will help the cook improve his or her box and any other comments that did not affect your score.

Thanks for following this format, judges! :-)

9 looks very nice other than one dark spot on bottom left piece. Nice glaze

I would give this box an 8. I think that filling the box would make a better presentation. Either bigger thighs or more thighs.

Ike, CBJ/KCBS

Pieces are a little different in size but overall this box looks good. 8

7 - The box does not appear full causing the pieces to appear isolated. The presentation would have been enhanced if three additional pieces were included. The pieces are not uniform and are more noticable since the minimum number required was submitted. A few more pieces could have increase the score.

8 sauce does not appear to be even and a tad heavy.

8 maye 7 in person; Nice looking box of nicely trimmed, but heavily sauced chicken.

Suggestions: Lighten up on the sauce heavyhandedness. I like that the pieces are slightly irregular from one another, i.e., they're not cookie-cutter pieces and look slightly differently and don't have the "manufactured" form of muffin-tin meat.

SCORE/REASONS: 8
SUGGESTIONS/COMMENTS: looks nice, piece sizes are not all the same,

8. Nice glaze, color is good but a little different among the pieces.

Suggestion: Even up the shapes a bit. Some judges will score down for a lack of symmetry.

7 Mixed sizes, uneven appearance, sauce ok.

must have been a heck of a small chicken

7---pieces small n relation to container, more consistency in size needed too

Ed KCBS MCBJ

I can't say much good or bad about this entry. The sizes are not all that even but niether are chickens. It's not too oversauced but not all the even either.
All in all it's not above or below average so 6 is my score.

9
Chicken looks good and tastey

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
4/9/2013 03:03:23 am

Score = 9.

Comments: Pieces are a little uneven in size, but not enough for me to knock the score down.

Kendall - CBJ
4/9/2013 03:14:11 am

Looks great, I'd give it a 9

Tom - CBJ w/ KCBS, MBN, NCPC & comp cook
4/9/2013 04:53:59 am

7
Not uniform in appearance (size and shape)
Looks moist, but I don't particularly like that black zit on the bottom left thigh.

Greg - cbj kcbs

7 - pieces are not proportional, some round some rectangle some square. You need to pick ones that are more alike. Also, unless it is the light, some look like you added some sauce to them to change the look. Try spreading them out a little more to show definition.

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
4/9/2013 08:47:59 am

Score/Reasons: 9/Nice color and mostly uniform appearance!

Suggestions/Comments: Be careful about how shiny the sauce makes the chicken look; it implies a score based on the sauce and not the meat; also, try very hard to find six thighs shaped and sized the same!

Greg
4/9/2013 10:47:56 am

8 - Good color - nice bed - none of the six looks the same though...

Bob CBJ KCBS
4/9/2013 03:18:18 pm

Score 7 All different shapes and sizes. .center left is much lighter in color

Scott CBJ KCBS
4/9/2013 03:24:07 pm

7- to much sauce for me. I want to taste the meat!! Good arrangement!

8 - The reddish color is kind of unnatural. Also there are color is unever.

Suggest - The glaze or sauce maybe less red and ensure the color is even.

9.......Nice color and shine with the right amount of sauce.

Front left piece is an odd ball size but not enough to deduct a point.

9 A good looking box. While the pieces are a little irregular I do not believe cookie cutter meat displays make the boxes any better. Sure would like to taste it.

score/reason 8, could be a little more uniform in sizes and shape

    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.

    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. ;-)
