Just snapshot them with your phone and post to a public drive like Liffey did? Would seem the handiest.

Thanks for the results great and honest feedback about faults like poor carbonation, nice to get them confirmed and certainly something to work on for next years comp  :)

Disappointed in the legibility of some of the results as I was trying to see how others fared and what impressed judges the most in a comp I am struggling with, see below.
Is it a BJCP prerequisite that you write in block capitals if your normal standard or writing resembles a pissed spider just climbed out of an inkwell?

a couple of scoresheets I got in the nationals last year were illegible, and I've heard a few people say the same. Definitely something we can improve on in 2016.

Body decent, some ? sweet (?) grainy(?), liquorice(?) flavour, hint of spice. Finish is ?  earthy ? cloying(?). Bitterness well balanced. Not v. refreshing.

Easy!

Were some beers entered without an ABV given as part of the entry?

Some of the scoresheets say "no abv" ???

Actually I'm confused now, are the sheets up somewhere?

I know from doing the bjcp course, my writing gets worse as the day goes on, both from drink and agony in my hand from writing. :)
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

Unfortunately not everyone has copper plate handwriting. Mine in particular has been getting worse over time so I try to print the comments.

As Colm says after a while we do get a bit tired and the writing gets a bit hard to read.

Also for most of us this is the only time we use handwriting!

Anyways point taken, in future we will ask the judges at the briefing to try to print the comments.

What about there not being an ABV on a lot of the scoresheets?
