I wouldn't scrap completely, just work from that. My first draft probably won't be that great either but since I am on a very limited time frame I will just edit it as best as I can.

Finishing the competition is half the battle. A ton of people don't, so you probably have a better chance than you think.

This. And even for those that do finish, many turn in crap. I attended a T2 and grading the write-on competition was eye-opening. I assume many of the students turned something in just to turn it in. To the point that I could have improved many of them dramatically with a 30-60 minute edit.

Also take a look at the grading breakdown if it's available to you. You can turn in something with crap for legal analysis and still score at or near the top. Bluebooking was essentially 35% of our competition's grade. Also consider that if you're having trouble writing something you deem to be good, it's likely that everyone else is in the same boat. It's also likely that you don't even know what "good" looks like.

Just complete it, with the understanding that perfection is the enemy of the good. You will be ahead of a lot of students just by finishing. Even if you don't make it, at least you won't have to think "what if" from here on out. The year before I tried out for moot court, the competition at our school was extremely non-competitive. Essentially, if you tried out with a good faith effort, you made it on. The next year, it was a bloodbath. I know moot court isn't law review, but you never know from year to year how competitive or non-competitive some of these competitions might be.

Write on has made me realize just how much of a rat race law is. Get into the best school you can, get into the top 10%, get law review, get dat coveted SA position, work at a damn fine firm, make partner...
