Ill judge no prob..

WIth 50 beers and 3 pairs being asked to judge 18 is hard work.

Would suggest 12/13 beers per pair - gives 8 judges and 4 stewards.

I think with the BJCP course that would be no problem. Remember also that stewards get points as well.

That could then give 4 major categories: Ales/Stouts/Pales/Others Of course depends on the actual entries but you get my drift.

So myself and Bren are definitely judging. What about Kellie?

Also, since both of us are likely to have beer, we make sure that our beer is not on our judging table.

When it comes to the final result, if any of our beer is in the final, the brewer recuses themselves from judging.

Definately priority given to Liffey Brewers for judging and stewards. Looks like 8 judges in total would be required to be on the safe side, although if 10 volunteer it would make sense to include all 10 I suppose.

There are organiser points going here too. With 50 beers it looks like 2.5 points. The only thing is, Derek is not doing the BJCP.
Derek, you up for the second round of BJCP course?

[delzep]

Nah, I'm not doing the course...no plans to either to be honest

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

We can't let those points go to waste then. Someone needs to take them. It can't be a judge as you can't get points for both, though you can be an organiser and a judge, you just get the organiser points though. In this case, the organiser points are worth more than judging points.

We could outsource the organiser points to Padraig? A sort of thank you for all the hard work, of course he probably has to step up and actually organise it.

In fact, I would say the organiser has to be BJCP or else it probably doesn't count.

[delzep]

I don't mind....just nobody else has stepped forward to organise it
