7 - too much sauce and is there a reason that the top row only has 2? The rows should be equal IMO.

8 - Maybe limit the box to 6 pcs by replacing the lower right, removing the top left, and use the other top thigh. Too much sauce.

9! Well presented box. Even spacing, sizing and color. Look moist. having the extra two pieces shows creativity from the standard six arrangement.

Score/Reasons = 7, sauce is too heavy and dark to see any meat.

I would score this box a 7 because it is hard to see the meat with the heavy sauce.
Larry MCBJ

7 - over sauced with bare spots, box not balanced.
Jim Perry

Score/Reasons = 8. Maybe just a bit heavy on the sauce. Top pieces are different sizes.

8 - Nice shape and size. Good color, but appears to have a pinch too much sauce/glaze.

Score = 7 Far too much sauce; haphazardly placed chicken in box. The garnish used did not enhance the product.

7- Too much sauce! Pieces look uniform in size except the piece on the bottom right; it appears smaller then the others and takes away from the appearance because of the difference in the left and right sides of the bottom row.

Based on the photo, I would give this a 7. The color is very dark, and seems to have way to much sauce. It looks like it was just poured over, not brushed on.

Score/Reasons = 8, definitely looks oversauced.
Ed KCBS/MCBJ
2/19/2014 12:28:46 am
Um...sizes are off, symmetry is lost. So oversauced that all I'm gonna taste is sauce..and it's not really applied all that well.

Score/Reasons = 7, way too much sauce. When I see so much sauce I wonder what the cook is trying to hide. Taste, toughness, or over done meat.
Tiffany KCBS CBJ-CTC

7 - The sauce is so thick I think I see finger dimples - gives me the impression I won't be tasting chicken.
Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score/Reasons=7, sauce is dark and appears to be a heavy, think, application. Placement of the pieces make the box look unbalanced.

7 - nice arrangement, even sizes. The color is not very appealing, too dark, looks like chocolate in the photo.

7.....Way over sauced. With the cover up the meat can't be judged.
David - CMBJ/KCBS
2/19/2014 07:52:10 am
score - 8 - very nice arrangement but overall color is very dark
Bob CBJ/KCBS
2/19/2014 11:28:48 am
Score: 7 Pieces 1 and 8 not as uniform as the other. Unable to see meat due to over saucing.

Score/Reasons: 8; Pluses: At least 6 pieces in box; Nicely trimmed. Minuses: Piece vary greatly is size...front row 2 right pieces quite small compared to all of 2nd row and right piece in 3rd row. Sauce is incredibly thick, gloppy,unevenly applied on most pieces (the bone end has little-->no sauce.

Score 7. I have to wonder how this cook would want judges to score this chicken when we are unable to even see the chicken. Once again "cooks judges are to judge the meat, Not the sauce".

First impression is burnt, cause of the black. It probably is not, but first impressions are what counts. The first impression I've used all the way through to Master judge is "How appetizing does the meat look in the setting presented". Dark chicken just doesn't look appetizing. Nice uniformity on sizes. Appearance (6) average

A nice looking entry, but WAY too much sauce. You bite into this one and get a face full of sauce ! Scored an 8.

Score/Reasons = 8; whoa! Lay off the sauce! Size looks a little inconsistent and arrangement looks nice. We judge meat, not sauce and I bet I wouldn't be able to taste the meat with that much sauce on it. We have to judge as submitted, so I couldn't wipe any sauce off before tasting. Go for a glaze, not a thick coating, that enhances flavor. Too much sauce screams you are hiding something.

Score/Reasons = 6, mostly uniform shapes, but it is hard to see the chicken under all that sauce. Because of the sauce, it just looks average to me. 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. ;-)
