If you want to compete, make sure you take a judging class and do a few contests. That's one way to see a bunch of entries and see how people do it.

Stop by a few of the contests and talk to the teams, look for the FE smokers (this forum)

It's really quite a subject as each category takes on a whole range of questions.

If you have anything specific you want to know, stop by the FE Contest forum, that's where the teams hang out.

Back to the original question.

for contest I sauce, but it's more a glaze than a thick sauce. I've done well in chicken, ribs, pork butt and brisket (go figure) is my lowest of the 4 categories.

Saucing is for looks/appearance as well as add a layer of flavor. Thick saucing doesn't do well.
