Score - 8. presentation a bit too random

Ike, KCBS CBJ
12/10/2013 11:12:16 pm

Score = 7.

Pork looks like it's well cooked and shredded but the sauce job is horrible.

Score 9
The pulled pork is not heavy sauced and looks shiny. I detect a piece that is sliced pork that also looks moist & shiny. The burnt ends are a big plus

7 - Haphazard arrangement and spotty sauce. Neatness and attention to detail will improve overall score.

Michael Cannon

7 - sauce uneven. Needs organizing.

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
12/11/2013 12:50:46 am

Score/Reason = 7/The sauce looks like it was an afterthought and not incorporated into the meat; it's not a good showcase for the meat; there is no symmetry to the meat placement (bark pieces just included in the mix, not marketed as a separate part of the presentation).

Lorne Rae

7. Looks moist, good color, nice sized pieces. Bark on top could be more evenly spread through the box.

George

7 - Don't like the gloppy sauce.

7 - the meat looks great; however, the sauce looks like an afterthought. Judge 5 and 6 will not receive meat with the added sauce.

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
12/11/2013 02:15:16 am

Score = 7, Sauce looks uneven and the color of it is not very appetizing.

Comments: It might have been better to just leave the sauce off.

Dick-MCBJ/CTC
12/11/2013 02:34:16 am

Score 9. Nice color with the mix of meat and bark. I appreciate the reasonable amount of sauce. A great entry!

BlueSmoke KCBS CBJ/COMP COOK

9.......Looks moist. Good bark. Lightly sauced.

More bark would enhance the looks of the meat.

Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC
12/11/2013 03:14:22 am

Score/Reasons = 9. Good looking meat. Good mix of bark. Did not deduct for the uneven saucing.

Suggestions/Comments = Some judges will deduct for the uneven saucing.

9 nice looking box

8-Very good looking pork box . Nice looking chunks. Appears moist, heavily sauced in a couple of spots

JohnnyY/CBJ,KCBS,NCBS,NCPC

8 - looks good, box could have been neater, sauce is a bit heavy.

7... where the sauce isn't the meat looks dry. Haphazard saucing.

DJ Martin

Score/Reasons = 6 Average looking box. Some parts look mushy, possibly from over cooking.

jaja01 KCBS MCBJ CTC
12/14/2013 07:11:36 am

Score/Reasons = 8 - the meat in not placed in the box neatly. Not all the meat is evenly painted with glaze / sauce.

Suggestions/Comments = Take a little more time arranging the meat in the box so it does not have various pieces of meat outside of the pile. Also, take time to ensure the meat is completely painted with sauce, or keep the meat natural looking and not paint it.

Shawn-KCBS CBJ and Comp Cook
12/14/2013 07:36:51 am

I would score this box a 7. Meat with the sauce added looks great!
Suggestion: make sure meat is uniform in the box.

Matt KCBS CBJ
12/14/2013 09:34:01 am

Score/Reasons = 8, nice full box, meat looks juicy, bark looks good, 8 instead of 9 because the sauce is sporadically spread and the chunks are too big.

Suggestions/Comments = Spread the sauce evenly, or leave it off.

Jeff KCBS CBJ
12/14/2013 04:07:06 pm

score/reason 8 sauce needs to be more evenly distributed not just globed on in spots. Color looks good and looks moist as well would have been higher if sauce was more even.

Jeff T - CBJ/KCBS
12/15/2013 12:43:10 am

Score 7 - Good color and nice bark, but the globs of sauce hurt the presentation. Stray strands of meat could have happened during turn-in, so did not consider in scoring.

Tina C KCBS CBJ
12/16/2013 08:10:40 am

7 looks moist but not a very appealing presentation

Matt P.
12/16/2013 12:47:41 pm

Score/Reasons = 7, the meat looks a little dry, except for those areas with sauce (which is irregularly applied). The pieces are also irregularly sized.

Suggestions/Comments = I only see 5 pieces with bark on them, and if I'm the 6th judge who gets stiffed I'll be very disappointed. Whatever you put in there, make sure there is enough for each 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. ;-)
