Just playing with numbers in the October BJCP database, and discovered the following facts amongst ACTIVE BJCP judges:

 

South        384

Northeast  351

North (us) 348  <--

West         348

Mtn/NW   327

Mid-Atlan 315

Midwest    299

 

We're TIED for third, only THREE judges behind the region with the second most Active judges, and only 36 judges behind the region with the MOST active judges!  St. Paul just hosted an exam, Duluth is hosting one this weekend, and MhBA is hosting one in December and April!  GO TEAM!!!

 

Here's the breakdown for the top five states with the most Active BJCP Judges:

 

345  California

158  New York

130  Texas

101  Florida

 92   Minnesota

 

TEN new judges and we knock off #4!

Only 39 new judges to knock off #3!

 

We could also bring some LAPSED BJCP judges back into the fold.  Here's a challenge for you guys who haven't judged in a couple years to come back and judge a round or two!  Isn't there a homebrew contest coming up in two weeks in FARGO?  Hmmm.....  You PHC'er's should invite some BJCP judges you haven't seen for awhile back to judge a round or two in Hoppy Halloween!
