Sounds like they're populating the fridge for the office Christmas party to me! They have not registered it as a BJCP-sanctioned competition, and they have not (to my knowledge) asked for any help from the local beer judge community, so I wouldn't expect any sort of useable scoresheets back. No mention of any awards other than the "grand prize". And.. a six-pack of precious home brew required for evaluation? Caveat emptor! - Al -------------- Original message -------------- From: &quot;popice(a)juno.com&quot; &lt;popice(a)juno.com&gt; I called and talked to a worker. She said she thought they needed about a 6 pk. I asked, really? Yeah, that should be good. Clearly they aren't in the habit of judging a ton of beer. That is way overkill. If I submit I would bring maybe 3-4 bottles. I mean, come on. Some type of form would be filled out when you drop them off. I did not ask about multiple entries. I have no idea of the judging criteria either. Just, the one they like best? The deadline is Dec 18. Bottles can be dropped off at the downtown office. I don't know about shipping. I am guessing they don't know what they are getting into. I mean, for a prize this great, they could be unknowingly unleashing a tsunami of entries upon themselves, and are about to drown in waves of locally made beer. -- "Patrick Sundberg" &lt;patrick.sundberg(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: That seems like a very vague competition. Can we ship the beer? How many bottles do they need? When do we need to have the beer there by? Have I missed the deadline? Are they just doing this as a scam to get free beer?
