7, possibly an 8 in person. Pieces are too dark and the sauce looks gooey and over-applied.

Score/Reasons = 8 Color looks good. Sauce application looks good. Size and shape of pieces look reasonably consistant. Can't see all of each piece.

Meat pieces seem a little larger near the front of the box, but that may be the photo angle. Also, meat seems just a little darker in color than I prefer.

9. Can't wait to taste these. They look a little dark, but I think that is the quality of the photo.

Score/Reasons = 8, Nice looking box. May be higher in person. Color seemed a little dark and mottled in spots.

Uniform pieces with excellent color finish. Neat box and the two types of garnish enhance the presentation. Definitely deserves a 9.
David - CBJ/KCBS

Score/Reasons = 8. Very nice looking box. The top piece on the left the sauce was not applied as evenly as the other pieces

8 - looks moist, consistent sizing and arrangement, color is nice in that regard, but does make wonder if slightly overdone.

Score/Reasons: 8 - nice looking chicken, but it's "buried" in the garnish.
Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score = 8, Hard to get a good look at the meat in this photo because it is sitting down in the box. But from what I can see it looks good.

7 - Uneven placement, spotty sauce, and the garnish partially covers the meat.
Matt KCBS CBJ

9. That is a color that particularly attracts me in BBQ. And I see it glistening so it looks moist.
Jeff KCBS CBJ

score/reason 8 sauce looks a little uneven and thick, could be more uniform in sizes

8 - The pieces are not evenly sauced; more attention to detail would have helped to receive a higher score.
Jim Michnowicz KCBS MCBJ CTC
9/22/2013 11:29:44 pm
Score/Reasons = 8 - the meat is not uniform in size and is not lined up . The lower right thigh has a bone sticking out which takes away from the appearance of the box.
Shawn-KCBS CBJ and Comp cook
9/23/2013 06:50:10 am
I would score this box a 7. Chicken is very dark in color and pieces vary in size.
Chaz D KCBS CBJ
9/23/2013 08:19:47 am
Score: 8 The meat looks pretty good but maybe a bit dark in color. Some slight differences in shape/size as well but not too bad.
Dick-MCBJ/CTC

Score 9. Excellent looking chicken which has not been painted with sauce. Good Job!

9....Good color. Good size. Nice even sauce.

8 - Nice box. Meat appears moist and sauced evenly. A slight bit of the garnish is blocking the view of the edge of a couple of pieces and am unable to determine how well they are trimmed.
Steve R. - KCBS CBJ
9/24/2013 12:50:23 pm
Scored this an 8. The meat looks great but a touch too much sauce for my liking. (Only a comment: The garnish is distracting to me because there's so much of it. Less would have been much better.)

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
