Any pointers on competing in first small BBQ competition?:icon_shy
I agree...Do a complete dry run at home, match all the turn in times, takes notes.
Stay sober.
Good Luck

I've only done one comp but a detailed schedule really reduced my nervousness. The detailed schedule was a product of the full test run.
Check bbqcritic.com to nail appearance. This is the easiest criteria to satisfy.
Be comfortable. Have some shelter in case shtuff happens - even if it is the back of a minivan or UHaul.
Other small things:
Keep things in plastic bins, not boxes that destruct when wet
Have a large clock that is visible in daylight
Add PVC to your table legs to raise them to a comfortable height
