8 - while the chunks look tasty the pulled portions look dry and unappetizing.

Pulled pork looks a little dry a color is a little bland. I'd give this box an 8.

Score 7. The pulled pork looks great, but the ends appear very dark, overcooked, and over sauced.

8 - Pulled looks good. I like that there is a little bark included in there. The chunks look good, too. Nice dark bark, but maybe a tad heavy on the sauce. I think it looks great. Nice job.

A 6. Burnt ends look yummy and moist. But pulled look dry and ends are laid out jumbled ( eg. one at bottom- two at top + a triangle lower left opposite a split rectangle at lower right).

7 - the pulled pork look dry to me. The burnt ends are over glazed and may be over done. When I see over glazing, I wonder what is being hidden.

5 - maybe it's a poor photo, but this box looks dry, overcooked and quite unappealing. to me.

Looks dry and over cooked and used sauce to try to hide it.

8 - over sauced a little. Remember when presenting your pork if you have pulled it to thin, the judges cannot really do an accurate pull test for tenderness. The pork may also become mushy which will reduce your score. Keep this in mind, every negative reduces the positves that your box would have scored not the other way around.

9 box looks nice, the chopped color looks a lite dry and off color but this could be the photo not showing moisture

This pork looks very tasty. I like the looks of the pulled pork as it looks tender and not over-sauced. Score it a 9.

Outside pieces are too dark and uneven color wise. Pulled pork in middle looks good. 7

7 - Hard as I try, i can't get excited about this box. It's bland and unimaginative. However, the picture doesn't help, so in person I might be more generous!

8 Pulled pork looks very moist! There is a little to much sauce on the burnt ends for me.

Laid out nicely. Barked chunks look good maybe a little saucy. The pulled in the middle may be too pulled, bigger shreds would look better me thinks.

7- This doesn't look appetizing to me due to the really dark and oversauced chunks around the border. The pulled pork looks good.

7. Chopped meat looks dry and the money muscle looks overcooked and oversauced.

Very appetizing looking box. A little different from what I'm used to seeing. Burnt ends look delicious but maybe with a little too much sauce. Nice presentation - 8.

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
