What happens if you leave a comp after turn in, and some how you are able to win, or at least get a call? Would you still get your $$/trophy/ribbon? Is it considered disrespectful?
The first person to the stage gets your stuff...
Yes - but I'd suggest you talk with the organzier or another team and arrange for somebody to pick up trophy/ribbon at least. Saves the organizer shipping on a trophy.What happens if you leave a comp after turn in, and some how you are able to win, or at least get a call? Would you still get your $$/trophy/ribbon?
Do you even need to ask? Unless you have an emergency then you should stay for awards. Even if you think you have no hope. Because the truth is it's most disrespectful to yourself. You're there to try to win and the idea of awards is to allow all the cooks to applaud the winners. You are missing what it's really all about. That wonderful walk with all your friends and enemies cheering for you.Is it considered disrespectful?

I do not plan on leaving early, but my wife is pregnant, and I am looking at contigency plans in the event she went into labor early. It would be a month early, so I seriously doubt I will have to worry about it, but I wanted to know just in case. We are doing another one that is only a couple of weeks before the due date, but it is only about 4 miles from the Hospital, so I could always ask her to cross her legs until we hear or leave my brother-in-law there to collect if we won. Wouldn't that be perfect...win your first ribbon, and have a baby the same day!!! Man what a dream!!

2) Does the name "Lorena Bobbet" ring a bell?
And what would she se for a clapper?
Anyway... Just let the organizer or reps know what is going on and either have someone pick up your trophy or work with the organizer to get the stuff to you.
This raises the interesting philosophical question: "Is it possible to be too devoted to BBQ?"
If I were in your position, I would ask myself two questions:
1) Do I think I can go the rest of my life without sleeping?
2) Does the name "Lorena Bobbet" ring a bell?
Babies have a mind of their own. Our youngest arrived 7 1/2 weeks early! Have a GOOD plan of how to get moving quickly if you need to. My wife's water broke and he was born 1 hour later.
Because if you can stay up all night to drink beer and smoke meat, you can sure as hell do a 2am feeding.Hey this was the wife's idea, she is getting into this as much if not more than I am. Far be it for me to tell her no, when she is going to let me stay up all night, drink beer, and smoke meat.
