Judged my first backyard comp in Waco and learned we only had 30 minutes between turn-ins
Nobody warned me the brisket box had to be in at 1:30 while I was still slicing ribs, so I ran a full tray across the lot in the rain. How do you all stagger your turn-in times without losing your mind?
Kinda disagree that it's a mind game, sounds more like you just didn't read the schedule beforehand. Every comp I've been to hands out turn-in times up front, it's on you to map out when the boxes go in. Staggering is easy once you know brisket is 1:30 and ribs are 1:00, you just work backward from there.
