Proper Comp Etiquette

[sharks_guy]

If you feel stressed out, it's time to pick another hobby and stop BBQ competitions. Life is too short man. This is all about fun and feeling stressed out is definitely not enjoyable. I can understand being serious about competing, but stress will shorten your life.

Hell ya, which is why I posted my original question....

Thinking that I needed to put together samples for neighbors and be nice about their samples, while still struggling with my own turn-ins was stressing me out.

I have learned by following this thread that all I have to do is do what I can... With experience this may become more, but for now, not to worry.... Have fun, fill in the details of working with neighbors/guests/public etc as time management skills get better.

Thanks!
