7 - Meat looks pretty good. Arrangement could be improved

Not sure what the cook is trying to "get me with" here. Bark is there, but it's kinda sloshed around. I could attribute some of this to handling by the captain etc, but I don't see how this was arranged to showcase the product.

Score 8. A little more effort and neatness placing the meat into the box and it would be a nine.

Score 9 Looks like it might pull easily, plenty of bark and enough meat to test it properly.

Meat looks moist. Nice bark. Badly arranged box. Better care is needed on placing the meat in the box. 7

Meat looks mushy, not equally distributed in box. 7 maybe 8 in person.

Looks like the pork was shifted to one side in the box. Don't know if that was before or after turn in. I'd give this box an 8.

8. This entry looks enticing. That said, the display is lopsided to the left and the box would make a better appearance if it had more in it and it was more attractively arranged. Was the team running late and in a hurry to make deadline? Looks like maybe.

The meat looks good but just thrown in the box

8 - Just a pile of meat off-center in the box. Nice looking meat/bark.

Meat looks good, but could have been presented MUCH better! Looks haphazzardly thrown in.

6 - I'm trying to give some leeway to the fact that this is a picture, but it appears as though the cooker mixed up his competition pork pile and his scrap pile. There appears to be visible fat in the back left corner, the placement is skewed and appears to be thrown in, and it doesn't even look appetizing.

6 -
(The Good) I love the color of the bark. The meat does not appear to be oversauced yet still looks moist and appealing.
(The Bad) The distribution of bark and non-bark pieces is very uneven and the overall placement of the meat in the box is uneven. There appears to be a large piece of fat in the upper left corner. The box could be filled with more meat, especially in the top and right side.
(Not Factored in Score) Clean up the smudges on the edge of the box.

This stuff looks really good. Only haphazard presentation keeps this fine looking pork from what should be an easy 9

8 - Looks moist with nice bark. Presentation looks like looks like the box may have taken a tumble or was just haphazardly arranged.

cbj/comp cook, 7...the meat looks kinda mushy in places to me could just be the picture tho.

6 - Box arrangement is sloppy, meat off to one side. There is not a nice mix of bark and meat. The bark looks like fat.

I'm scoring up for the meat, but drawing it down is the presentation itself. The meat looks good, BUT it appears just thrown in there with no consideration to presentation whatsoever.

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. ;-)
