Just got the following from John Moorehead from the AHA ...

....

Good feedback so far. So is the plan to have this competition next year after Nationals Final Round? Our final round will be in June, so it'd have to be sometime in August to allow for rebrew. If we do the first round, that'd open up the entry count but would include winners from all 12 sites. If we do the Final Round, we could choose the top 3 medal winners in those categories to enter. 15A and 15B are in the same category, 18B and 21A are in different categories, giving us 9 entries total (3 from each).

If it's such a small competition, I'd say we'd look to have higher ranking judges (national and up) judge the competition for prestige. As far as travel is concerned, that's something that would have to be decided by Gary Glass, the AHA Director. However, if we can finalize a legitimate plan in the coming week, our annual planning meeting is next week and I can present this idea to the group.

So the idea was that we would have the National medal winners in the categories that we are competing in to submit their entries for this competition as well as having maybe 3 wildcard entries. Any feedback is welcome. I will be replying to John tomorrow afternoon so if you have comments please let me know before then.

Great job Mick and sounds like a workable plan to allow the comp to get off the ground.

Any idea of the time frame for this?

I'd say it will be August 2019 but talks are still at a very early stage still.

Ah so would probably need to repeat the trick of winning another medal in next year's competition then. Good love a challenge 😁. Time to make stout, practice makes perfect.

Just to let you all know that this is not dead it's just proving to be an extremely slow process. Got the following from the AHA this morning ...

Hey Mick,

Sorry for the getting back to you so delayed. I pitched the idea to Gary, my manager, and waiting to hear back his initial thoughts. I think it has potential to create some great competition between clubs (if the Ryder Cup format is ever reached) and grow the connections between the international homebrewing community and the U.S. homebrewing community.

I'll update you soon!
