I think most days it's just the luck of the draw / which table judges your ribs may be the difference between winning or coming in last. Good luck- hope to join you on the cooks side one day. Chicken is my weak point!
I competed for several years on the BBQ circuit. The judging is what drove us away from it. The eye opener was becoming a judge, and seeing other judges do the same as you described.
