9 pieces are uniform, good color 3/11/2014 01:51:24 pm
7 - Sauce is uneven. Poorly arranged. Looks like flecks of carbon from the grate are on it.

8 - Nice color, size is off. I'm not a big fan of muffin pan chicken.

8 other than varying sizes which may be camera angle and the fact that i am not sure what type of meat it is (ok, it probably is thigh meat!), looks worthy of tasting.

Score/Reasons: 7 - Is this really chicken? The only way a judge would know is because someone said so. Ok, let's stipulate it is chicken, the color is good and sauced, but not heavily so. The pieces are not uniformly trimmed therefore some are different in size. The middle piece in the front row appears to be one of the smallest in the box. Why aren't the remaining pieces all trimmed to THAT size so that all are equal?

a 9! A unique and original layout. Good spacing. They are moist looking and have even color. The middle center sample is smaller as is the back row but because they are placed where they are they all form part of a pattern and so the box cannot be downgraded in my system of judging. Well done.

I would have cutback on the number of pieces to have more uniform sizes, 7.

Score/Reasons = 8, too many pieces, you had 6 nice uniform pieces you could have left out the back exterior pieces.

I give this one a 9. Good even sizes, little color variation, but not much. Shadow throws off the pic a little.

Score/Reasons = 9, maybe 8 in person. Coloring looks a bit light but may be the picture. Nice light saucing on these.

If your going to give me art deco chicken then you better make sure they are the best you can make. The variuos sizes presented are not excellent. However, color, texture, and saucing are indeed excellent. So 7 + 9 = 16/2 = very good 8

8....Color a little light. Looks under cooked. Back row pieces look smaller.
Tiffany - KCBS CBJ-CTC

8 - the saucing looks a little uneven and the skin underneath looks pale. It didn't affect my score, but I don't like the look of 'cupcake' chicken.

Score 8. Everything lots good, but I just am not a fan of formed chicken that doesn't even look like chicken.

8 - good color but it appears the ones near the back are smaller, may just be the photo angle.

8 - Well trimmed. Slight variation in size. Sauced a little unevenly.

I would score this box a 9. Looks great minus the shadow in the pic.

7 - The shadow masks the front pieces. The chicken balls are even in size but are very different in color. I prefer chicken that looks like chicken. 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
