Tough photo to judge from.
7 maybe 8 in person.

7 might go an 8. Flash off the camera did not help this. Bottom two left pieces look like they got a little singed on the grill, same thing happened to me last time, left it 5 minutes too long.

Really bad picture, trying to see through that - I don't like the color or how the skin is hanging

Score: 7
This is a really terrible photo and does not present the box favorably. Having said that, it certainly looks edible but the meat appears very much over sauced, and a bit on the dark side.

I would give these an 8; could be d/t the picture, but color appears dark, may be alot of sauce; size looks uniform, but just looks a little messy; again, could be the picture.

Looks like average home backyard chicken. Uneven and too much sauce. Some spots appear charred and others not. The inconsistent shapes (some trimmed round and some look like thighs) took my 7 down a notch.

6 (average)

6 - Nothing makes me want any. They look charred.

Suggestion: If using garnish, at least cover the bottom of the box.

Below ave. The photo is really blown out also.
Very uneven sauce application, overall not very appealing box.

Score 6. This is an extremely poor picture to ask us to judge from and could earn a slightly higher score if I could actually view the box.The meat is to dark to make it appealing.

7 (maybe a 6 in person). It looks like some parts are burnt and there are some odd shapes.

S/r, 5/6, what are these,candy apples or chickens,WAY NO MUCH sauce.

5-6. The picture is so bad, I really don't want to score it. But from what I can see, the tops look very dark - like burnt dark. If the dark is sauce, then it is really uneven. The chicken needs to be trimmed better too.

Suggestion - I think I can see white spots through the garnish, even with this bad of a picture. The rest of the garnish just looks sloppy. You dress nicely for a job interview right? To make a great first impression right? Well, dress your box of meat nicely with garnish to make a great first impression.

Score-6

The pieces look a little over sauced and a little to dark. It appears that maybe the sauce is trying to cover up something.

Suggestion. Use a little less sauce. Fill the white spots in the garnish.

Looks pretty average for competition chicken = above average for chicken.
Color off a bit for me, Looks moist, but sauce doesn't look evenly spread. Glare is distracting, but sizes could be closer.

Score: 7 - Placed in the box nice and uniform, trimmed well, too much sauce and looks a little over cooked to me.

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. ;-)
