BBQ Critics: Participants in COBJ MUST USE THE FORMAT BELOW WHEN SCORING BOXES or your post will not count toward your COBJ qualification.

EXAMPLE (not pertaining to the box live now):

Score/Reasons = 9, reasons such as nice meat looks moist, etc

Suggestions/Comments = Here you can add suggestions or comments that DID NOT AFFECT YOUR SCORE.

Scores will be published as a group when judging is done. Please compare your scores & comments with other judges. If you are way off from the average of the combined scores, take a second look and see if there is room for improvement. After reading comments/scores, ask yourself, "Did I score too high? Did I score too low?" Always look for ways to improve. :-)

Thanks!

Like the general look of this box, but the dark streaks may be the chicken was scorched on the grill. The taste isn't scored here, but the marks force me to give it an 8 instead of a 9.

Score= 8

Color uneven and sauce appears too thick

9...Like the color and sauce. Meat looks like its cooked the way it should be.


Trim the nubs off the corners. Grill marks might cost you with some judges.

8 - good color - too much sauce.

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC

Score = 9; Excellent looking chicken box. Nice grill marks on the chicken.

Comments: Sauce might be a little to heavy for some. Less is more. The middle chicken on the left is a little lighter than the rest as well. Might just be the light. Not enough to score down though.

score / reason 8 nice big pieces that fill the box, pieces could be more uniform in size, grill marks look a little chard giving more of a burnt look

bruce nickels

Score/Reasons = 8,good color, nice level of done.

Suggestions/Comments = confused about the grill marks. They are not typically seen. If you are going to show grill marks the classic criss-cross would have been nicer. Good entry.

Doyle H. KCBS CMJ/CTC

9 - Great color, uniform in size. I like the look.

Ed KCBS MCBJ

Love the grill marks, love the sauce glaze, love the arrangement.
I give it a "I love it" 9

Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC

Score/Reasons = 9, looks very appetizing, good looking box of chicken.
Suggestions/Comments = None

Lorne Rae

an 8. Good layout, even color and look moist. If the lower right were switched with the upper left one then one row would have had larger pieces, and the other one smaller -thereby offering a pattern and I would have scored it higher.

Score/Reasons = 8, fairly even grill marks, fairly even saucing and color, and pretty similar size samples, but the back right thigh looks dryer than the rest. Lacks that "WOW" factor.

Suggestions/Comments = not much non-score related to comment on.

william holladay SCBA

8 - Samples look good enough to eat, but skin is not uniformly covering thigh on all samples. Best looking sample in box is right-hand middle. the rest should look that good.

9 This is a great entry! Looks very appetizing!!

Eric - Master CBJ/KCBS
5/13/2014 12:45:50 am

Score/Reasons = 9; uniform in size and sauce; like the grill marks; looks very tasty

Suggestions/Comments = consider using pieces with "pretty" skin that cover the entire piece in the front

jaja01 KCBS MCBJ CTC

Score/Reasons = 9, I like the look of this box. There looks to be the right amount of sauce. Hard to tell, but maybe what sauce there is can be applied more evenly.

Suggestions/Comments = Make sure the sauce in applied evenly, but not too much sauce.

PS CBJ BBQ BRETHREN

Nice grill marks under the sauce. Good color and not too much sauce. Score 9

Matt KCBS CBJ
5/14/2014 03:34:00 am

Score/Reasons = 8, very good! Nice color, the middle thigh on the left could use a tad more sauce to make it look like the rest

Suggestions/Comments = The areas where the sauce is on the grill marks looks purple to me for some reason. It could be the lighting when the picture was taken or something else. It didn't factor into my scoring, just something I thought I would point out.

Bobby Whitefield

Nice color and well arranged box. Meat appears thoroughly cooked and I would like to taste it. A 9.

Deb KCBS MCBJ/CTC

Score/Reasons: 9; Terrific color, good looking entry.

Suggestions/Comments: This entry is spot-on. Great job!

    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. ;-)
