It must be something in the Minnesota brewing water that causes them
to do it, but it seems that almost every big homebrew competition they
do is spread out over more than one weekend with the Best of Show and
added events separate from the main judging. Maybe that's what they
have to do to make sure they have enough local judges to go around for
all the entries, but it can be a HUGE disincentive for any judges to
travel from out of town--only so many people can be best of show
judges in one competition.
