No longer do you go to an 11:00 shot and now know what to do. Rocky Mountain BBQ association now has an official standard for the 11:00 am shot. I do not know what the penalty would be for those Iowa or the Rev who may violate the rules.
What is more interesting, is RMBBQA now gives awards for the best 11:00 shot. I am pleased that I will be at many of the RMBBQA contest. They are setting the bar very high for everyone else.
Rocky Mountain BBQ Association “Eleven O’clock Shot” Tradition: Guidance to Hosts

3. The Host will ensure the traditional shot occurs at one hour prior to first standard category
turn-in (traditionally the Chicken Category).
