Burnt ends not mandatory. Two comps ago a our burnt ends were like double bubble - chewy so they didn't go in - 3rd place. Last comp we liked our burnt ends so they went in and brisket got 6th.
Which leads me back to pork - had our pork scored like last year, we would have been in good shape since ribs earned calls both times too.
