Haven't been to a rib cookoff so when there was one locally decided to check it out. Doing some research the turn in was at 11am. No samples were allowed to be handed out. At 4pm you could purchase rib dinner from whichever team you wanted to, but w/o samples are you just to go w/ the judges decision on which teams product to order? Been to shrimp fests where you buy tickets, each ticket good for one sample, which seemed a good way to do it. What is the normal BBQ cookoff position on sampling?
