He said a mouthful here!A couple rubber floor mats in your cook area will save your feet. And a table raised up to the right height will save your back. We learned those lessons the hard way.
I go the disposable route. Disposable cutting boards, pan liners for full size pans, a box of gloves, lots of knives each with a purpose. Trim as much as possible at home. Whatever needs washing goes home in the dirty cooker -- all of which gets washed at home!
This is what we do.
I'll make it simple for you.
You're not going to win. So simply enjoy yourself, meet as many other competitors as you can, and take it all in. You'll learn a lot that way, have a great experience and will not risk disappointment.
I ran a full practice comp the week before to get my timing down and get one out of the way so to speak. I was more nervous when I did that, than when I actually competed. Being at a comp and the fun atmosphere, BBQ camaraderie and all that goes along with it, just made it so fun I didn't feel nervous, and I did well.
But again, a full practice cook is a good idea.

I got a length of 1 1/2" pvc pipe and cut it into 8 inch chunks and put them over the legs to raise our tables up, works like a charm.
