I have to disagree on this. If you fail a cable during competition, just unplug both ends, throw a spare cable in, and tie it down. Leave the dead cable on the board and replace it when you get back form the competition.

It's tedious, but nowhere near as bad as spaghetti wiring, which is much more at risk to fail.
