Score/Reasons: 7 - meat looks a colorless blah beneath all that gloppy sauce. The pieces are not neatly trimmed, if trimmed at all.

7...nice color but over sauced. The sauce is burnt in spots making for a very uneven appearance.

Score/Reasons = 8, Nice color on most but skin on sides looks slightly under done on a couple of them.

7 - Skin has differing grill marks (dark color). Gives the appearance that pieces are cooked unevenly. Sample size varies a slight bit and trimming is inconsistent. All pieces should have near the same appearance.

first of all, there looks like there might be a foreign object on the bottom left piece....assuming that is not the case....I would give this a 6. Uneven sizes, one piece is so large it looks like a breast. Uneven charring, there does not look like there was even an attempt at trimming or manicuring any of the pieces. Could use more garnish along the sides to help showcase the pieces. Uneven saucing, just looks sloppy.

Gosh, hate to do it but it looks like a 5 to me. Burnt and covering it up with sauce doesn't make it appetizing at all. Sorry, we've all been there...

7 - very uneven color and the sauce application seems quite uneven... in person, it might get a little higher, but passed on this view a 7 may be generous.

I'd give the box a 7. The chicken looks overdone, and the sauce is not evenly distributed throughtout all of the pieces. The one plus I could give the box is that the chichen peices appear to be uniform.
David - CBJ/KCBS

Score - 7 - chicken all different sizes and some not straight in box. Color of chicken very inconsistent with some areas looking almost charred.

A poorly prepared, rather sloppy presentation. Pieces are unequal in size and care was not taken to ensure outer skin covered the thighs. Glaze is uneven and appears to be slopped on. Difficult to see the chicken pieces, but some seem undercooked. More effort in arranging the pieces for better display would have helped. While not a fan of garnish, in this case more would be better. Rate a 5.

Score 9 - Nice box that I would like to taste.

5 - Irregular placement, color off, and doesn't look like I want any.

Score/Reasons = 6/odd-shaped pieces; gloppy sauce application; not a lot of attention to appearance in the box!

8. This box is very appealing to me, but i think it would not be liked by the masses. I see the dark splotches as flavor. Others may see them as a distraction.

7. Too much sauce on the meat. Uneven appearance.
Dick-MCBJ/CTC
10/19/2013 12:45:35 pm
Score 8. Reason the sauce is very thick and there is too much "painted" on the chicken. The sauce or the chicken appears burnt or overcooked which causes the chicken to less appealing.

Score/Reasons = 5, definitely looks "below average" to me! Looks moist, but the burnt portions reduce the appetizing aspect considerably. Not evenly sauced or evenly burnt. Pieces too dissimilar in size and everything else.

5 - very unappealing box. Sauce uneven and gloppy, not evenly spread. Some pieces have sauce, some seem not to have it at all. Almost looks breaded, could be photo. No uniformity.

Score/Reasons = 6, The color is not even over all pieces of meat. Also, some areas are too dark. Appears to the sauce was burnt. The pieces are not even is size. The thighs were not placed in the box neatly. or lined up.

Score/Reasons = 7, uneven char and dripping sauce reduce the score on this box.

5, Look moist and nice arrangement but of various sizes and some of them overlap. Color is uneven. Overall not appealing to the eye.

Score/Reasons = 6 - Average. No explanation really needed... looks like chicken an average cook could make on the grill/smoker.

8 with my first look, the sauce is dark, spotty or uneven on the pieces.

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
