Realistically, I would consider using two cookers, so as not to crowd your timeline. WSM's don't have that much cook space to cook and overlap times on 4 meats!

If you can take both the 18 and the 22, do. It will make your contest so much less of a headache. The ribs can then cook undisturbed on the 22, and the 18 has plenty of room for chicken. We usually do 16 thighs on an 18" WSM.
Also, if one of your long meats runs over, you can set up the 18 as an oven to finish it and not screw up your rib start time. The long meat should be done and resting long before you need the 18 for the chicken.

How are you transporting them? do you have it altogether and run a strap around it from top to bottom to keep it in one piece?

^^ yes, just like that for the 18s because we have enough headroom for them in the van (just). When we take the 22, it has to ride with its lid turned upside down and nested in it to reduce its vertical height.

In the past, we broke them down and carried them in a mini-van. You may need to invert the lids. I would also remove the grates from both cookers, and tie wrap them tightly together. Otherwise, the rattling will drive you nuts going down the road. Use the empty WSM shells to store charcoal, paper towels etc if space is an issue.

I open the foil to vent for a few minutes but then close it up again.

J, when i cooked a couple events on 1 WSM i had the big meats off by 7AM. clean out the bowl, reload with fresh charcoal and ribs on by 7:30A.
it's been a few years since i ran that program, but i think i put brisket on @ 8P, and pork @ 1A(wrapping the brisket at the same time and go to bed for 5 hours. i'd get up @ 6A and wrap the butts and check temps. again, it's been a while so those are general timelines. if i was a better cook at the time, it probably would've worked out OK with some tweaking, but i was just starting . now i cook on two WSM's and the big meats can cook as long as they need, but i'm always sure to give myself enough time to have them done by 10A and resting.

I made all my times, the meat was good. I learned a lot.....a lot. It was good to cook it over night. All of the advice you folks have given is spot on.
I will be moving up my cooking start times for Brisket and Pork, I'm going shoot to have the big meats done at/by 7-8 and move on to Chicken and Ribs. As for Ribs and Chicken I will aim to have them done and boxed at the very front of turn in time to allow some buffer of error. Yeah I was sleeping :)
