7 Looks dry but there is potential here. Bark and color okay with me.

Score - 7 - ribs are too dark, appear dry and the edges are rough as if not cut with a sharp knife, or were overcooked and hard to cut cleanly.

7 not very appealing, two dark. would be a better looking with two more ribs. the six in there look lost

a 6. Nice bark color and even placement. The cut edges appear uneven and the meat looks dry.

Nice appealing box. Ribs are uniform in size with a nice dark glaze. Slices are a little ragged on the edges which could easily be remedied by adding more glaze to cover the cut or tucking the ribs further into the parsley. I give it a 7

Bad picture - 8 - `Off-center in the box and possibly burnt sugar in the rub. I always give the benefit to the cook when the picture is inconclusive.

Score/Reasons: 8 - nice looking ribs. "Matte" finish suggests possbile dryness, but we'll judge that with taste/tenderness.

Score/Reasons = 7; I want to give it higher but I can't; all I can see of the ribs is the top and the bones that are protruding out of the meat. The color is a little dark but the real problem is that I can't see the meat! So, it doesn't invite me to eat the ribs. It doesn't turn me away, but there's no 'invite' to eat base on the appearance.

score/ reason 7 looks a little dark ,ribs look uneven in size, cuts could be a little straighter

7 - Too dark, makes me think might be dry. Edges look good, but pulled back pretty far on bones so again worry about dry/overdone. So much greenery, makes it feel like meat is a bit sparse.

7 - Ribs look a bit dark (could be due to light in photo) and dry. I do not find them appetizing to the eye. Cuts look a bit jagged which supports the look of being dry. Nice draw of the bone.

Score - 6 - average. Maybe a little overdone, pretty dark

6 - too dark - don't like so much bone showing.

Poor picture makes it hard to judge but looks like an 8.

Score 7. Reasons: The ribs appear to be overcooked and dry. When even the bone is as dark as these are I really have to question how dry these ribs will taste. I would suggest that the cook lighten up the bark which will make the ribs more appealing.

Score/Reason: 8 The ribs look really dark (could be the pic) and the sizes are a bit too uneven.

Score/Reason: I would score this box a 6. Ribs are very dark in color and are not showing much sign of moisture.

Scored this one an 8; meat looked very appetizing but the garnish distracted me from the overall appearance of the entry. Less garnish would have been better.

8- Nice! Even color and uniform shape. Appear to be a little on the dry side, may just be the photo.

Score/Reasons = 6, the ribs look very dark. The ratio of meat versus garnish is very distracting. See suggestions.

Score = 8, Color looks a little too dark to be appetizing also the ribs look dry as well.

6 - with that much color and pullback from the bone they just look overcooked or even burnt.
Ed KCBS MCBJ

Love the pull back on the bones. Color is a bit dark. Cuts a bit ragged.

Score/Reasons = 8, looks pretty good, but too dark to tell much. Lacks the "POP" or "WOW" factor for a 9.
Bill C MCBJ/CTC

9 or 8. Hard to tell because the picture is so dark.

8 I would serve these ribs anywhere except as a championship turn-in. Too dark implies toughness.

Score/Reasons = 7, the ribs are too dark for my taste and makes the ribs look overdone. Also, there is some meat on the exposed bone on the lower right.
Matt KCBS CBJ

7 - Above average - would have been an 8 if they didn't appear a bit overdone and, therefore, a bit on the dry side.
Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC

CERTIFIED BBQ JUDGES:
Please score this BBQ Competition box using the KCBS scoring system below. 9-Excellent 8-Very Good 7-Above Average 6-Average 5-Below Average 4-Poor 3-Bad 2-Inedible 1-DISQUALIFIED (give reason). Click on BOX # in title of post above photo. Fill out the "LEAVE A REPLY" form and use the following format to TITLE each section in your post: 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. ;-) Archives by Month
