They want you to hit a mark on ribs where it bites clean, but I like mine fall off the bone. Most people that come to the house want them "fall off the bone" But in competition that would be overcooked. Brisket in competition is way to salty to enjoy. Chicken doesn't even look like chicken in most cases. As I was told by a friend of mine when I got into it, you can't cook to impress, you have to cook to offend the least amount of judges, so it can't be too tangy, too sweet, you have to shoot for what I call bland. I wouldn't even take the leftovers home. Now I find it much more relaxing and rewarding to cook what I like. 

Fall off the bone is the way man no question.
