Rules
- This competition is open to any homebrewer age 19 or older.
- Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our competition. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.
- Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.
- We reserve the right to increase personal entry limits, or overall competition entry cap during the registration window based on demand by entrants and availabilty of qualified judges and volunteers.
- The competition committee will combine style categories into Medal Categories, based on the distribution of entries the competition receives.
- All entries will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.
- Ranking in Medal Categories will be determined by a mini-BoS process. The highest average score will not necessarily be first place within a Medal Category.
- The BoS ranking will be determined by a BoS panel based on a second judging of entries advanced from each mini-BoS panel.
