7 - Off angle cuts take away from the appearance. Ribs do look good but not even.

I give the box an 8

Good looking meaty ribs with nice sauce with clean cuts. Seems like you ran out of room so decided to cross stack 8 ribs.

My suggestion would be to align them from left to right and only include 6 ribs instead of trying to squeeze in 8 ribs.

Not perfect, but looks excellent anyway. Almost look dry, but probably just the photo.

Tom - Looks dry? One judge complained the ribs were "dry" and four others said the ribs were "moist." Good call on blaming the photo and not deducting a point! ;-)

cbj/comp cook, 8 if the box was put together just a little bit neater it would be a 9

8, not uniform color, but look good

7 - Gloppy sauce, uneven spacing, and clean the box. Attention to detail would surely get this box a 9.

Score 9. Beautiful entry. This is what great ribs look like. I really would have loved to taste these ribs.

The color on the ribs is a little uneven and the bottom row in the back are at an angle while the front/top row are straight. Also the two ribs on the right have tilted a bit. Don't know if that is intentional but it is distracting. I'd give this box a 7 maybe an 8.

David/CBJ

8. Ribs look good, maybe a little too much sauce. Sauce needs to be wiped off side of container. Ribs on right need to be lined up with rest of ribs.

John - KCBS/MCBJ, CTC, Rep; MBN

Easy 8 and perhaps a 9. Nice box. I ignored the smudge on the inside front of the box because that could have happened when the table captain unfastened the lid prior to presenting for appearance.

BBQ Critic

John - Good call on ignoring that smudge inside the box. You are correct. The smudge could be the Table Captain's fault or even someone handling the box at the turn-in table. Congrats on giving the cook the benefit of the doubt.

9,great looking box.

I think this box would have had a better appearance if top row of ribs were aligned with the sides of the box, odd stripe on ribs not uniformly cut. 7

BBQ Critic & Frostbuster judges agreed this was a nice looking box. Mostly 8's and 9's match the Frostbuster scores. Nice job!

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. ;-)
