You will be very happy with the WSM it is what I and many teams use and have done well with it. Everyone with the big stick burners used to scar me but I have learned It’s not the cooker it the cook. Have you checked out the Virtual Weber Bullet site?

If you feel you may not be ready to competition at Pike Place, a very good event for your first time would be PNWBA’s Spring Training in Seattle in May. It is a one day cook and a very good starter event. Keep an eye on the calendar for more upcoming information.
I see Clif made contact with you, he is one very nice guy.
