8, nice looking slices (maybe a little thick), nice bark. uneven sauce really hurts the way this one looks

Looks good

8. Meat looks good, but arrangement is "busy". Different arrangement, maybe some separation between the different cuts, and it's a 9.

I like that this box has three different types of pork and that it looks pretty moist, but it just lacks something to me.

9 - Nice box. Very appetizing looking. Like that the box looks full and is not too oversauced.

There are a couple pices out of place, or turned in such a way to block the flow, but overall nice box

8. I liked the looks of everything except the hodgepodge placement of the pulled pork in the center of the box. If that were less of a mess, the box would be an easy 9 for me.

I give the box a 9

Very presentable and evenly cut slices. I like the variation of sliced, pulled, and shredded looks great.

I like the spread M/M so you can see the meat. Nice bark and sauce. The pulled pork and chunks look good and moist. The stray chunk on the lower left catches your attention but not enough to lower the score....9

Great looking pork box. The money muscle at the top looks fantastic. The only thing I see is the sauce on the very last piece at the bottom left looks uneven. I'd give this box a 9.

I would have like to have seen no sauce on the face of the slices but I'm having porkasms looking at this box. Give me one of the slices and that blob of bark on the left and leave me alone!

BBQ critic, I missed judging the chicken and rib Frostbuster boxes, but I have looked all all of them and the comments. What a great event you had there and it's super getting to see the scoring. I would really like to see the taste and texture/tenderness scores too

Scott - So you want taste and texture/tenderness scores? Come on down to Iowa next year and you can experience it. :-)

Score:8
Some of the meat in the center is stringy-looking, although this could be the photo/lighting. Definately a Very Good entry.

Looks darn tasty. A little cleanup on the layout and it will get a 9 from me. Specifically, the pulled in the middle looks a bit messy. Tighten that up and this would be a fantastic box.

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. ;-)
