So What do I need to do to make competition winning beer?

I know in the bjcp guide there is an experimental cat but in this comp I couldn't find that catergory in the entry form!???

[Pheeel]

AFAIk it was cut for the comp

According to the bjcp a British golden ale can be British or American hops!?

Here's a tip I picked up this weekend. If bottling from a keg for the competition, make sure you do it before inviting friends over and accidentally finishing the whole keg.

A certain member had a Wee Heavy @ 10% and when I asked if he was entering it he said it all gone

[BrewDorg]

Oh wow, 10% ! That was some accident

Been there, done that

I'd take that as a compliment and way better than any medal
Give yourself a 40 score

Read this thread and immediately went and bottled the rest  of my keg. Now I can drink easy

I'm now thinking my strong Ruby mild eoulc be better In the porter catergory!?!?

How similar is it to Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild? In the 2008 guidelines (though not 2015) it was a commercial example of an Old Ale; that could be a good fit.
Otherwise, there is a provision for entering historical recreations that are not fully described in the guidelines into Category 27. Historical Beer:

"In the case of a style that has changed substantially over the years (such as Porter or Stout), the entrant may specify an existing BJCP style as well as an era (e.g., 1820 English Porter).
When the entrant specifies any style not on the BJCP-supplied list, the entrant must provide a description of the style for the judges in sufficient detail to allow the beer to be judged. If a beer is entered with just a style name and no description, it is very unlikely that judges will understand how to judge it. "
