Do you brush anything on your brisket right before turn in?

to help keep it moist in the 15-45 mins it waits for the judges?

I don't brush, I dip it...

For IBCA cooks, correct?

I took second place brisket in a practice competition two weeks ago brushing with drippings and other special stuff, of course

Yes, IBCA

My drippings are 100% fat, when put into a fat separator, lol.

If the judges can judge the other categories in about 20 minutes why would the brisket sit for 45 minutes?

IBCA - If good enough, your box will go to a second table of judges known as the final table. So you aim for your food to tast good at room temp.
