Rhythm 'n Que are our teams heroes out here. I'll admit I had my dad pull a shig ninja and go grab a pc rib from them at our fourth contest. We personally thought our ribs were great but they scored really poorly with the judges. It was driving us mad and we just wanted to see what made their ribs win all the time. That rib changed our BBQ world view completely and it's what's driven us to always try and improve no matter how well our turn ins are scoring or how good we may think our food is. We were ignorant of the unknown. I'm glad they have become such great friends over the past two years and that they take that one experience as a compliment.
As far as lying, fibbing, whatever to other teams we do it to teams that have been around for a while but we'll normally be fairly straightforward with new teams. New teams need all the help they can get. Older teams on the other hand should know that we don't spritz our box with water and liquid smoke or that a touch of grape soda isn't really that awesome for thinning out your rib sauce.
