A champion's ribs went to the wrong crowd at our local festival

I still laugh about the year a top pitmaster handed his contest ribs to regular folks by mistake. We all got a sneak peek at his best work while the judges sat empty-handed. Do little errors like that make BBQ memories, or are they just bad form now?
