No I haven't received mine yet! Sorry to get your hopes up with the misleading title!! :-\
Anyone hear anything about when we might get the results? Its been nearly 6 months at this stage. How long did the 2014 results take? And before someone starts with the "it's on a volunteer basis and all that" I know, I'm just enquiring, not complaining! ;D

They are notoriously slow and take an age, was at least 6 months last time, I think reason is the person that marks the papers is swamped. Ask Gordon at Brewcon.
In their defence they want to maintain the standard and not just rubber stamp everybody without thorough vetting which I guess is a good thing!

They are very good about retroactively giving you your points too.

Good news today from BJCP - re exam results
The scores were very good. No one failed, only one exam was below 70, and a good number were in the 80s. You have a well-trained group of judges who will soon get their well-deserved credentials.
It usually takes another 1-2 weeks for processing, but we're pretty much done. They'll get an email with a link to their BJCP record, which will include the RTP and their scanned exam scoresheets.

This is a testimony to all the hard work put in by the sub-comittee (Bjcp Exams) that tutored/organised/sniffed/and helped us taste our way to such an incredible result.
Many many thanks to you all!

You should be able to get your scores now.
Giacomo gave me this link:
http://www.bjcp.org/apps/judge_record/exam.php?type=rtp&id=EXAM_ID
Get your exam ID from your BJCP login (if you have one) and enter that where it says EXAM_ID.
I got 73, 2 less than last time but since I had a cold on the day, I'm happy with even getting that.

Don't we need 10 points and to do a written exam as well? You'd think we'd know this by now :D

I think it's only right and proper. All new judges need experience to improve their skills. Even looking at my feedback, I can see heaps that I missed and need to improve when filling in score sheets.
It would be a bit pants if you could get to national without judging a good few competitors and practicing those "negotiating skills" :)
Regardless, getting this far is an achievement by everyone and it's just the start of the journey :)

Are we able to get the proctor sheets? Either way, might be an idea for those that got 80+ to upload their sheets. Be a good way to see what people missed.

Aye I'd love to see a sheet from someone that got national or master in feedback. I really let myself down there.
Can bring mine along for comparisons for any that want it.

Whilst having a chat after the AGM will be great what about organising a more formal "wash-up" for all interested.
It would be great if we can get the Proctors sheets (why not) and then the rest of us can go through our sheets and compare.
This may well take a bit of time and could be part of the next BJCP course.

Hi Guys,
Congrats on the great scores in the exam.
As some may know we ( the North County Brewers) are holding a BJCP registered competion in the Old Borough, Swords on the 29th of May. Thats two weeks tomorrow. We are looking for 3 more judges to help us out. Problem is its on a Sunday. The first train from Dublin gets into malahide at 9:40. We can pick you up from the station!
We aim to start at about 10 am and be finished first round by 12 ish. Then there's a BOS round and then the craft afternoon. We will have beers to give away!
Naturally food is provided for the judges and stewards.
If you can help us out please update this thread:

Now that there are five (I think) judges with tasting scores in the 80s, shouldn't these five be looking to take the written exam, to get to National?
molc
Paul B
Johnnycheech
Double G
Dunkel
and anyone else I don't know about
But not sure about how to apply for the exam, or whether we have to go to London or whatever to take it.

I won't have enough judging points for a while to do the exam, as you need 10 to sit it I think. At 3.5 atm, so need so do some more judging first and then will sit the exam. Im thinking well have enough people to run the exam in Dublin in the next yearor two, assuming this class does as well as the last.
