Score 9 These ribs may not be cooked long enough, but the presentation is appealing.

Sauce not caramelized detracts a touch from these

Low 8, high 7. Do not like the placement of the ribs in the container, sauce just doesn't do it for me. No pop, no ravenous desire to eat one of these ribs.

Looks like they are just thrown in the box

Score: 8
I wish the cook had taken just a little more care in the layout of this box as it's a bit haphazard looking, but still really nice looking meat.

8. A bit less sauce and more even color could push this to a 9. The far left rib looks a bit fatty, but that may be the lighting.

7. Total lack of personality to me.

Nice looking rib box. The color on the ribs looks a little light to me. Also the ribs look a little jumbled in the box. Makes the box look a little messy. I'd give this box a 7.

Pale ribs make them look under cooked. Sauce is alright. Nice plan on the arrangement but poorly executed.....7

Score 8. This picture was a little confusing. It first appeared that the ribs were cut above the bottom rib, but then I realized that ribs were placed over the other ribs. Proabaly would score higher if seen in person.

7 - The ribs do not look cooked. There is not color to the meat, and the sauce is blotchy.

Larry CBJ/KCBS/MCBJ/GBA

9 - The lighter color will drop a few judges score as being undercooked.
What some judges may not know is a mild wood won't darken meat like say, hickory. I'm giving the benefit of doubt to the cook...

I give the box a 6.

Meat doesn't look that bad, but from a presentation standpoint there is a lot wrong.

Cuts are not even
Sauce is heavy in some places light in others
a couple of pieces look twice the size as others
layout in the box couldn't be worse

cbj/comp cook,7 they look good but nothing special and the arrangement could be a little better as well.

looks under done and slopy presentation 6

Scott P. CBJ

6 - Pale looking meat under the sauce. They don't look done, not enough bark.

Interesting color and the cut leaving the point there is attractive

7 - arrangement looks sloppy. Ribs do not have a bark and almost look undercooked or steamed, however, I'm still drawn to them for some reason.

Too much sauce for my liking, but these ribs look excellent to me! Nice layout!

6 perhaps 7

The sauce itself has a nice BBQ color, but the meat underneath sure doesn't. Too much sauce, meat looks baked. Not something I just want to jump in and grab a rib of...

Thin, unevenly cut. Saucing looks a little odd.

While we judge each entry on its own merit and not vs the other entries, this is clearly the one that is "not like the others."

7-8 Sauce is too gloppy. It may be the picture!

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. ;-)
