Score 1 - Can't see 6 pieces It would be kinda good if another was under the 5 that are visible.

Probally go 7.5-8.0 as the sauce is a little inconsistent and the cutting of the ribs could have been better seems like a hurried box with rib ends so uneven.

DQ, only 5 ribs

All judges will give a one (1) in Appearance for unapproved garnish,
pooled sauce or less than 6 samples of meat.
All judges not receiving a sample will give a one (1) in all criteria.

Larry - Good job on nailing the score of 1 for a DQ. However, not sure where you are seeing illegal garnish or pooling of sauce.

Score: 7 - Ribs are sliced okay but uneven in size, placement in box is uniform, color is light but okay, too much sauce for me.

Wheres The Meat??? Unless there is a rib buried this is a D/Q, as there only five ribs shown. Assuming the other rib is hidden I would give this entry a score of 8. The reasons are the uneven cuts and color and the amount of sauce on some of the ribs.

6 - too much greenery. no smoke color. ragged cut on center bone.

Mike - please be mindful that in a KCBS contest we DO NOT judge "greenery" as part of the scoring process. Not sure what you mean by "smoke color," but I assume you are not referring to a "smoke ring" (which would not be visible here). Thanks! -- Herb

I sure hope your 6th piece (KCBS) is hiding under the pile!
Not cut very well, jagged edges and dissimilar in size.
Close to being oversauced.
If not a DQ then it's a 6.

7. Before adjustment to a 1 due to not enough pieces I assume there are no ribs below those shown). Gloppy sauce and sloppy overall.

John - KCBS/MCBJ, CTC, Rep; MBN & MABA Judge

Is this a set up .. . perhaps on several levels. First, I score it a 7 for appearance. Since there are only 5 pieces in the box, following KCBS Rule #16, upon instruction from the Rep., the appearance score is changed to a "1" for all judges..

Vince V. - CBJ/KCBS
11/17/2012 03:44:02 pm

5 pieces = 1 for Appearance from all 6 judges at the table, so unfortunately my Appearance score is a 1. Had there been 6 pieces, score would be a 7. Slices are uneven, as is the coloring between pieces, and bones are not in an appealing layout.

Doug KCBS Master CBJ/CTC

Sauce and color is a little uneven. Rib in the middle looks out of place because is it much shorter than the two on either side. The symmetry of the box would be much better if the ribs were lined up shortest to longest. It's these attention to details that separate the best from all the rest. I'd give this box an 8.

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS

6 - The ribs that are there look okay, though I'm not a fan of that much sauce. But, there are only 5 ribs in the box, which guarantees one judge doesn't get one. Based on the appearance of the ribs alone, I would probably give it an 8 at the most. Saucing the ribs prior to submission should give them a sheen and make them glisten, but not be shiny because the sauce is shiny!

    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.

    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. ;-)
