You forgot Hooray 

[brenmurph]

I think it's 5 yes. I'm at 4.5 because the twisted pepper is missing.

so who is first "certified judge ireland? U in the race Reuben?

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I already am technically. I'm just missing the points on the system to confirm it 

[brenmurph]

congrats

is it just half point for stewarding?

also anyone answer re 2014 nationals I judged all day in cork and stewarded all day in dublin. I didnt receive steward points, is this because its down as one comp when it was actually 2 comps over 2 days....

anyone confirm?

Well done everyone. Nice to finally KNOW! Pity the leaving certs have stolen the thunder a bit this week. However, I'm now a recognised beer judge, and everyone shall hear about it.

I'd better start getting out there and earning some points, so! I'll raise a toast to the class tonight.

Ye rossa I agree  Its registered as 1 comp, but does bjcp award per day or per registered comp?  The uk nationals in bristol are split over 2 days and 2 venues as well

[Rossa]

The way it works is for a certain amount of entries you get to award a certain amount of points. The amount of days really didn't matter as it is sessions that count. The system won't allow you to give someone more points than they are allotted. But you are able to retrieve points retrospectively. All that has nothing to do with a competition organiser and has to be done through the BJCP.

A half point for stewarding is right I think but again all that info is on the BJCP site.
(That is off the top of my head btw!)

Been on here http://www.bjcp.org/docs/First_Time_Judge_Packet.pdf and its fried my head. Does not make sense reeally. Why we not given 1.5 points for judging when the numbers were 50-100 or 2 points for judging when the entries are 200-300 and so on.

Anyways Ive asked Ali to clarify ( just mailed him) his bristol uk nationals are same scenario ( two venues on two different days, one comp)  hopefully he can clarify.

In my situ I commuted to Dublin, then commuted to Cork at significant expense (70 euros in taxi home from dub, 70 euros b&B cork) and seems unjust not to be given points for my work in cork just because its "one" comp....surely that cant be the case given that judges pick up points for "each session" e.g points for morning and points for evening

Woo Hoo

Recognised!!
