6, I cant see enough of it to really give it anything more...need to work on having the pieces sit more on top of the garnish instead of down in it.

7 - Way too much garnish. We are to judge the meat and not the garnish. The garnish hides the meat.

7 at best. Appearance score would be higher if you could see the chicken. Gid rid of some of the garnish.What I can see of the chicken looks pretty good.

Score/Reasons = 6 Color on skin looks very light which generally indicates it will be rubbery. Sauce application is uneven. Pieces are hidden so conformity in size can't be determined.

Excessive garnish overwhelms the turn-in box. Finishing glaze is not uniform and cannot determine whether pieces are uniform or not. It may taste great but presentation is poor. A 6 at best.

a 6. Nice color, good arrangement, look moist but unable to judge if sizes are uniform and if placement is uniform.

Score/Reasons = 6, we are to judge the appearance of the meat only, but when you can't hardly see the meat as it is burried in the garnish, it makes judging difficult. From what I can see, sizes/shapes are unknown, coloration and sauce not even, black stuff is NOT appetizing.

Score/Reasons = 6; but very close to a 5. Sauce seems to be haphazardly applied, and it does not look appealing. Too much garnish. That much garnish makes me feel that the cook is trying to hide problems.

7 - meat hard to see through garnish, therefore difficult to judge, sauce seems to be "clumpy" in spots, very uneven

8 - looks moist, great color, specs are a distraction and don't give good anticipation regarding taste.

Score/Reasons: 7, maybe 8; The chicken looks good, but it's "buried" so deeply in the garnish that it practically disappears. If a team uses garnish, the product should sit "ON" the garnish so it can be seen (unless, of course, the team is hiding something).
Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score = 7: I can't hardly see the meat in this photo.

6 - Parsley covers the meat, gloppy, uneven sauce, looks undercooked, and those black "boogers" aren't appetizing.
Matt KCBS CBJ

Score/Reasons = 6, looks under cooked, color is light and uneven

Score/Reasons: 8. Can't see all the meat because of the garnish. I like what I can see.

8 and maybe even 7. The uneven sauce and not so great color but especially being buried in the green.
Jeff KCBS CBJ
9/22/2013 01:23:56 pm
score/reason 6 To much greenery looks like your trying to hide what you cooked. Sauce in spots are a bit dark looking like it's burnt, then some spots are so thin like there is no sauce and then others are heavily sauce whole box is uneven.

8 Sauced too heavily and unevenly

6 - appearance is just that, the judges must be able to see the entry. The garnish is covering the pieces blocking the view.

Score/Reasons = 7, There is so much garnish in the box that it is hiding most of the meat. As judges, we are to judge the meat and not garnish. From what is visible,, the thighs are not sauced evenly.
Shawn-KCBS CBJ and Comp cook

I would score this box an 8. The chicken looks cooked very well.
Chaz D KCBS CBJ

Score: 7 The meat is very unevenly finished and light in color. Cant really see the size/shape.
Dick-MCBJ/CTC
9/23/2013 11:17:37 am
Score 8. I feel that a score of eight on this box is being generous. The reason is the chicken is buried in the parsley and being able to properly see and score it is very difficult. The cook needs to elevate his entry and allow the judges to see the entire meat if he is proud of it.

6....Pale color. Meat looks under cooked. Uneven sauce Unable to judge size because of the garnish.

7 - Above average box. Meat appears moist but sauced unevenly. Garnish is blocking the view of the edges of most of pieces and am unable to determine how well, or IF they are trimmed.
Steve R. - KCBS CBJ
9/24/2013 12:54:21 pm
Can only give this one a 7. What I can see of the chicken, the sauce was not evenly applied. I am not scoring on the garnish, but it is certainly hiding alot of the entry.

Score/Reasons = 6, Really tough to evaluate for appearance

A good judge wants a good effort. and I don't see that in this box! 5
Dave Compton - KCBS MCBJ

From what little I can see of the actual chicken, it looks like the sauce is gloppy and the coloring is uneven. Maybe I would score higher if I could SEE the meat instead of it being covered up by the garnish, Since all that I see is garnish and all that I'm going to judge is the MEAT - I'll give this a 7.

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
