Score/Reasons = 5, Nice presentation, but unappetizing due to the heavy, mottled, dark coating.

7- Too much sauce! The darkness of the sauce gives the appearance of being burnt. Not a good appearance.

I give this one a 8. Might go higher if I saw it in person. Like the size of the pieces. Looks a little dark, but hard to tell from pic.

Score/Reasons = 6, while the black is evenly distributed, it is still black which is NOT appetizing to me! Looks dry.

Nice job of trimming, very professional looking. However a couple shades too dark, my inclenation is it would taste burnt.

Score/Reasons = 6, the sauce, dark color and the specks of spices makes this box unappetizing to me. A little dark color is ok but this much may cause the meat to have a burnt taste.

8 - Not sure what all the tiny bits are and the sauce looks a little charred.
Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score = 7: Pieces are a little too dark to look very appetizing. Good uniformity on size and shape though.

Score/Reasons=6, there appears to be heavy charring under the layer of sauce. The bits in the sauce and the color of the sauce are a turn-off for me.

7 - nice arrangement, even sized pieces. Not sure how to respond to the rub, would suggest dialing it back some for appearance sake.

7.......Nice sized pieces. Scorched sauce. Probably a 9 if the sauce was the right color.
David - CMBJ/KCBS
2/19/2014 07:53:44 am
score - 7. the arrangement is nice but whatever has been done to the skin makes it very unappetizing.
Bob CBJ/KCBS

Score: 8 Nice uniform pieces. Sauce appears to be over carmalized.

Score/Reasons: 7; Pluses: At least 6 pieces in box; all pieces consistent consistently sized & trimmed. Minuses: Sauce is way too heavy, thick, gloppy, and uneven. Skin is shrinking up to expose the meat on many pieces.

Score 6. The thick dark coating and seeds (?) are a real turn-off for this box. As always, I view an entry as if this was served on my plate in a restaurant and with this chicken it would be a real disappointment.

Nice uniform large thighs. Looks to be burnt sauce or seasoning on the tops. First impressions are lasting impressions. right through taste and tenderness. Appearance (6) average

GREAT looking entry. Neat and uniform in appearance and I am very anxious to judge this one. Well deserved 9

Score/Reasons = 7; looks burnt in places although I like the look of the seasoning on the surface; size is relatively consistent; coating looks inconsistent; I get the feeling that my first taste will be of carbon from being burnt 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
