8 - while I like to have a deeper bark than these have, the portions do look good.

The only thing I don't find appetizing here is the grey color in the middle - grey is not usually a color I find appetizing. Could be the picture.

Very nice mm and chunks. Could fill the box a bit more but what is there is fantastic.

Score 8. My quick thought would be " did this cooking team run short of pork to put into this box?" The box does not look complete enough to give it a nine.

Nice color and shine on the meat. Looks moist and not over sauced. End on the M/M fell over so no deduction for stray piece of meat. Could have used more meat in the box. 8

Score 7 I would like to judge this entry higher, but it should be displayed lots better. The slices are too thick and I really believe this should taste pretty good. I would like to encourage this cooker to understand the importance of the display.

Nice looking pork. 9. Not counting off for top piece out of place, could have happened after turn-in.

The color of the pork looks unappetizing to me. Kind of blotchy. I'd give this box a 7.

8. Meat looks good. A bit more care would have made it a 9. Why is that piece in the upper right displayed cut-side up? It appears not only out of place but is discordant with the rest of the box. That says "hurry, I'm late" to me.

Top right piece sets off the box, a little dark.

Another box of garnish with a little meat on top

7 - Not a fan of this box. Top right piece fell over. Looks like there could be sculpting due to the unique layout.

8
Debated between an 8 or 9, but had to go with 8 just cuz of the piece in the upper left corner - just too distracting from the rest of the box. Nice "shine" on the meat (even though I don't cotton to too much sauce on my pork).

I really like the color on the bark.
Looks like a slice fell over during transport.
Love bark but they coulda put some more without bark in the middle.
I don't judge garnish but there might be a little too much of it here.

presentation looks nice, probably need some more pulled meat in the middle.
score 7

9 - Looks moist, nice bark

Tom KCBS CBJ

Nice looking box 8 bordering on 9

Rob - KCBS CBJ/Comp Cook

8 - Meat looks good. I'm thinking that the end piece of the MM just fell when the box was being moved, so that should not count against the cook.

Suggestions: turn your entire presentation the other direction and fan out the MM.

cbj/comp cook, 7 maybe 8 in person,theres just something about the color that's not doing it for me.

7 Box doesn't look full and no real pop to it.

6 - At first glance, my response was "what is that?". 'nuff said.

Not selling it as good as it could. Frankly, the 7 is generous, because this entry is starting to have a, as the women way, "poo" factor.

8. The one medallion in the top right corner looks like it may have fallen over during turn in. overall it is a great looking box!

Nice looking box! I'll give it a solid 8. In person maybe a 9. Lots of judges will comment on the piece on the upper right being out of place but this is one spot where I would give the cook the benefit of the doubt and assume it fell during turn in. The meat looks juicy and tempting...nice.

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. ;-)
