Score/Reasons: 8, Only because the ribs appear slightly overcooked and somewhat dry.

Score/Reasons = 1. This entry appears to contain only 5 ribs, so if this entry was at a KCBS event, all judges shall score a 1 in appearance.

8......Good color and sheen. Uneven cuts. Meat might be dry.

Looks a dab dark, buried in the greens, more care needed to keep the left side from falling askew.

7 - the ribs look a little dry at the cut and the color a bit dark and uneven

Score = 7 until all judges have marked their score. Then I would have TC call the Rep over and point out there are only 5 samples. If the Rep concurs the score would be changed to a 1 as a DQ

8 - Placement needs to be more uniform.

6 - I'm guessing there's a sixth rib hidden in the forest. Uneven cuts, spacing, a little charred on ends, and garnish impedes my view of the meat.

Score/Reasons: 1 - I like the color and judicious use of sauce of the ribs visible in the box. However, based on what's visible in the photo, there are only 5 pieces in the box. KCBS Rule #16 requires all judges to score 1 for appearance. If I were seated at the judging table, I would be able to view the box from several angles, looking to see if there might be a layer of meat beneath the visible meat. If so, there could be many more bones in a lower layer. There could be 10, maybe more, ribs on that box. Assuming a bottom layer, I'd score the box 8 in appearance. IMHO, the visible ribs are pretty much buried in the parsley garnish. I know we're to disregard the garnish, but it's difficult to do when the meat is partially hidden by the garnish.

Score/Reasons = 7, looks dry. Also, the diagonal natural seam of the meat is distracting.

At first glance, I see more garnish than meat; I would make less garnish. Meat looks good, color, does not look dry. If KCBS, you need 6 pieces. I would give this an 8

7. Look dry and is hard to see the meat with the garnish the way it is.

Score/Reasons = 9, if the is submitted for a KCBS sanctioned contest, it would be given a score of 1, disqualification because there are only 5 ribs, Overlooking this, the ribs appear to be a little dry but still pretty good.

I'm thinking this is from a competition first-timer. First problem is that five ribs is one shy of the standard payload. Need to find a sharper knife and cut them straighter. Ribs are settled too low down in the forest of parsley, and I assume the scraps of garnish littering the area would not be part of the turn-in box. Also, they look a bit dry and overcooked. Sorry but I'd say 5 or 6 on appearance at best, and yes I would give this cook with a comment card.

Score/Reasons = 7, looks fairly good, but still some problems - uneven coloration, slicing, and saucing, and almost looks kind of dry. Black doesn't look very appetizing.

7, ribs have nice color, but it is buried in parsley

5 - lot wrong. I can only see 5 pieces of meat, I guess the other piece is hiding under all the excessive greenery. The ribs are not evenly cut and they look very dry.

Score is a 1 for appearance. I only see 5 pieces of meat in this box. If this is a KCBS box, it does not meet rule 16. "Each contestant must submit at least 6 pieces of meat... If there is not enough meat for each judge to sample, the shorted judge(s) will score a one (1) on all criteria, and the judges having samples will change the Appearance score to one (1)." Assuming there were six bones in the box and it were arranged balanced, I would give it at least an 8. The meat has great color and even saucing. Looks moist.

I'd give it a solid 8, maybe 9 in person...Unless I was judge #6 who didn't get any ribs than I'd give you the deraded 1.

Nice color, not over sauced, meat looks moist. Looks very appetizing. Comments are closed.

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. ;-)
