Just a big ole pile of mess here. They actually look appetizing but I can't get past the lack of organization.

Gloppy sauce, looks dry, ribs look like they were just thrown in the box with no thought at all given to placement. I gave a 6 because you're giving me 2 ribs! Otherwise, would have probably gone with a 5.

6 - I agree with Big Al. Gotta show your love and these really don't look very loved!

those look dried out , thrown in the box haphazardly and no garnish at all.

You gotta show you put effort into it if you want it to score.

They look like a pile of roofing shingles.

5 - Looks like they were just thrown in the box. I usually don't like to comment on dryness when referring to appearance, but these look really dry and overcooked.

I'd give it a 5. Very disorganized. I believe the ribs should be cut individuality. Sauce is not evenly applied.

Score 6. Rib meat looks dry and not very appetizing. No care taken when making up the box.

The "pile of ribs" looks dried out, and to me, not appetizing. Unorganized box.

The ribs look a bit overcooked, and dry. Sauce is too gloppy. If they were placed better in the tray and the sauce was smoothed a bit I could have gone higher on the score. I will say nothing about lack of greens, and the amount of ribs in each cut. Those arent factors for me.

Arranged hap hazard, sauce gloppy, meat appears dry.

Strange cut + lack of any kind of symmetry or pattern in the layout. If your painting with pork this isn't a painting I'd be proud of.

Meat looks dry... Sauce is haphazard... it might be the lighting but the color on the top is very inconsistent and looks burnt in a few spots that don't look intended.

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. ;-)
