I know in the few comps i've done a bunch of people just don't do the shoulders/butts due to the fact they don't wanna stay out there all night... they show up around 6 am and start putting ribs and chicken on the smoker...
also, i've heard Myron Mixon shows up early in the morning and just does hot and fast... I think he has won a comp or 2 in his day...
