8 - I like the color and the presentation but the sizes could be a little more uniform otherwise it would be a 9.

9 looks perfect to me. Some pieces charred a little more than others but not enough to lower the score, imo.

8 - The picture probably doesn't do the meat justice, Nice glaze appearance abd the meat looks moist.

8. The pieces are uniform in size, color and have good placement and arrangement. However, they appear oversauced and the dark spots appear to be random and hence detract from the overall eye appeal.

8 - Nice color, looks moist and appetizing. Some of the marks are quite dark. Great looking box.

Score = 7 The box has great looking garnish! However, the chicken is glazed a bit much for my taste. The chicken also looks anemic, with some added grill marks to try and give it color. I'd guess to look that it was a bit undercooked from the smoker, and had to be finished on the grill.

I give this one an 8. Looks like I would want to jump in and take a bite. But not trimmed even. Just needs to be cleaned up.

Score/Reasons = 7, unevenly (over) sauced and unevenly blackened. Doesn't look very appetizing with the black areas.

Score/Reasons = 8, too much sauce. I like the grill marks. Not affecting the score is the unfocused picture

7 - Between the burnt spots and pale skin under the sauce it just doesn't look too appetizing.

Score/Reasons=7, pieces appear to be off-center in the box. I do like the charring and grill marks, however, a few piece seem to have more char than the others. I may have scored this an eight if the picture was better but I have to call it as I see it.

8 - Very nice presentation, two points to consider: 1) too much sticky sauce 2) your colors are sauce, black, and white where sauce is missing on the back two pieces.

Score - 7....pieces different sizes, too much garnish showing, glaze appears very thick. Color uneven

7 at best....Chicken looks undercooked and the sauce over cooked. Sauced about right with a sheen. Nice sized pieces.

Score/Reasons: 7 - Pluses: Nicely, but not perfectly trimmed, nice grill marks, no heavy thick gloppy sauce. Minuses: Heavily blotchy, maybe scortched, finish in places; uneven sauce...see prominent white spot on left-front piece;

Score 9. This is what I believe BBQ chicken should look like. Nice color of the chicken, a sauce that allows you to see the meat and is not so dark or thick to hide the chicken.

Black stripes don't look very appetizing. Could have squared up the thighs alittle more. Maybe too much sauce. Appearance (6) average.

A neat and professional looking box, however the chicken doesn't have that "uniform" look to it. I scored an 8.
Eric KCBS MCBJ

Score/Reasons = 7; consistency is king and the grill marks aren't; I think I would be tasting carbon on a few of the samples, not smoke; on the plus side, the sauce looks just right - more of a glaze, and the size is consistent. Could be easy an easy eight if the grill marks weren't burn marks.

Score/Reasons = 8, very good looking skinless thighs. Gave an 8 because of the few spots that got overcooked. 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
