Score = 7

The picture probably does not do the box justice but it looks like a nice box. Pieces are uniform and there is certainly enough. Finishing glaze is heavy which is the main reason for the score.
Nice entry...

Jeff KCBS CBJ

Based on the picture I give an 8. Maybe a nine in person

David - CBJ/KCBS
7/6/2013 02:32:51 pm

Score - 8 Dark color(maybe camera). Some ribs have protruding bones - some do not and large difference in length. Nice box

Lorrie - CBJ/KCBS
7/6/2013 02:36:17 pm

8, meat appears a bit dark in color, but may be due to blurriness of picture, ribs appear to be moist

8 looks a little heavy on the sauce but I would love to try them as a judge. I anticipate a very good score on taste and tenderness. Very nice cuts and good looking box

It would be totally unfair to score this box based on this poor picture. It is hard to judge any entry fairly with the pictures we, as judges, receive, but this one is impossible. NO SCORE !!!

Pete KCBS

Score 7-8? Poor photo quality makes it hard to judge color, but from what I can tell it looks good. The tapering down to the smaller sized ribs at the end of the rack is not something you usually see in competition ribs.

Comment - score on the photography - 4

8 - nice box, good color. Adjusting the top portion where the pieces are even and switching there position to the bottom would make for a more uniform presentation.

scored this an 8 cuts were uneven and looked like to much sauce
try hollywood cuts they usually always seem to be the same size cut good luck

BlueSmoke KCBS CBJ/COMP COOK

9..Nice color. Even sized ribs with nice clean cut.



The sauce is borderline on being to heavy. Some judges will knock a point off because of it.

Larry MCBJ
7/7/2013 02:05:12 am

Can't see well enough to judge.

Lorne Rae
7/7/2013 02:08:36 am

an 8. Good color, good layout, look moist but knife skills could be improved as sizing is uneven (ie. wide, narrow, and tapered).

Lee Tilton CBJ
7/7/2013 02:37:40 am

Score = 8 Nice cleans cuts, nice pull back on bone.

I would cut back slightly on the sauce as they look over-sauced.

Greg MCBJ/KCBS
7/7/2013 03:25:51 am

score=9
the picture sucks but the ribs look fantastic

Ed KCBS MCBJ
7/7/2013 03:27:46 am

Well disregarding the crappy picture, nice cuts, good even sized pieces. Color and texture look appetizing. Exposed bones on only a few ribs are hurting the looks. Can't really tell if your sauce is gloppy and uneven.
Best I got is a very good 8.

Old Goat
7/7/2013 03:41:33 am

7 Unable to judge realistically due to poor picture quality. Ribs do appear to be too dark to be tender and over sauced to hide it.

ike, CBJ/KCBS
7/7/2013 03:49:20 am

8, possibly a 9 in person. Ribs are uniform and well spaced in the box. Picture may hint at a little too much sauce.

Frank KCBS MCBJ CTC
7/7/2013 04:39:55 am

Score/Reasons = 8, Bad picture may warrant a higher or lower score in person. Nice color, sauce may be a little heavy.

Suggestions/Comments = Neaten up the garnish. That box will make the Table Capt'n very happy!

Doug KCBS MCBJ & CTC
7/7/2013 06:12:04 am

Score = 9; Giving the benefit of the doubt on this one as the photo is very dark and that makes it hard to get a good look at the ribs. From what I can see color is excellent, cuts are a little uneven, not enough to bring the score down though.

Bill KCBS CMBJ/CTC
7/7/2013 06:30:27 am

Score/Reasons = 9.

Suggestions/Comments = Consider not using the rib on the lower right front. It's not the same shape as the other ribs in the box (nit-picking, I know :).

Jim H - CBJ SBN/KCBS
7/7/2013 07:02:45 am

Score/Reasons = 9, Nice color and they look well-prepared, although the picture is dark and the meat isn't visible, only the top.

Suggestions/Comments = The picture is dark and difficult to see detail; also, for pictures, turn at least one rib sideways to show the meat itself.

8 - a little dark, but may be the pic. An abundant amount of meat, makes we want to taste.

Steve R - KCBS CBJ
7/7/2013 03:46:29 pm

Poor picture, but I can see that it is a nice entry - scored an 8; uniform cuts of meat, extra pieces for table capt, centered nicely in box, but just a touch too much sauce for my liking.

jaja01 KCBS MCBJ CTC
7/8/2013 03:07:59 am

Score/Reasons = 7, even though the pic is dark, the ribs appear to be over sauced. If the ribs are going to be presented with bone showing, then have all the ribs have bone showing. Or, don't have any bone showing.

Suggestions/Comments = "Suggest having less sauce on the ribs. As a judge, I want to taste the meat and not the over powering sauce. Also, take the time to have all the ribs match, bone or no bone on all the ribs.

8. Picture is a little dark/foggy, but you can still see it is a pretty nice looking box.

Tom – CMJ-KCBS, CBJ-MBN & NCPC; comp cook
7/8/2013 05:27:29 am

Score/Reasons = 8, VERY difficult to tell much as it is so dark, but from what I can see it looks pretty good and moist. Just not excellent.

Suggestions/Comments = LIGHTEN UP THE PHOTOGRAPH!!! Make the ribs more similar – you have some with bones sticking out and some without.

Dan S
7/8/2013 06:38:47 am

score 8
not all same size
nice color

Chaz D KCBS CBJ
7/8/2013 08:00:47 am

Score/Reason: 9, Great color and presentation and not oversauced but glazed well.

Comments: The only thing out of place here is the pullback on some bones is visible and not on others making it a bit asymmetrical.

Shawn-KCBS CBJ and Comp Cook
7/8/2013 09:11:22 am

Score/Reason: I would score this box an 8. Ribs have great color.
Suggestion: You maybe could trim them a little neater and use less sauce.

Dan KCBS CTC,MCBJ
7/8/2013 10:28:34 am

8 a little heavy with sauce

picture not the best, makes judging difficult

Deb KCBS MCBJ/CTC
7/9/2013 02:43:35 am

Score/Reasons: 9. Giving the benefit of the doubt to the cook-this is a REALLY poor photo. Regardless, these ribs show good color and appear well cooked.
Suggestions/Comments: Even with the bad lighting and lack of focus, this is a nice looking box o' ribs. The table captain and volunteers will be appreciating your generosity as well.

Jeff KCBS CBJ
7/9/2013 04:01:17 am

score/reason 8 sauce is a little thick, and the cuts could be straighter, making more uniform sizes. color looks great,box looks neat.

Greg KCBS/CBJ
7/9/2013 08:52:16 am

8-Another great looking box of ribs. Might be the photo, but appear heavily sauced.

Michael - KCBS CMBJ
7/9/2013 09:36:04 am

9 - From what I can see thru the haze it looks good

John - KCBS / MCBJ, CTC, Rep; MBN & MIM Judge
7/9/2013 01:48:58 pm

Score/Reasons: 8 - Marginal photograph (very foggy) of what I can only guess, in reality, is a pretty decent box of rips.

Suggestions/Comments: Need better photo.

Matt KCBS CBJ
7/10/2013 01:47:18 pm

Score/Reasons = 9 - good color, no reason to not give it a 9

Suggestions/Comments = none

Glenn KCBS CBJ CTC

7 (dark picture) maybe an 8 - As a judge I'd like to see a little less sauce and straighter cutting of the ribs. As a Table Captain, I always welcome a box with any amount of ribs over the mandatory 6.

Bobby Whitefield
7/14/2013 01:44:50 pm

Nice color but appears the glaze was brushed on at the last minute instead of setting with heat. I would prefer the ribs to be more uniform in size, however, the slicing was excellent and pieces match together very well. Overall a decent box which I would give a 6 or 7.

    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. ;-)
