Here's a little bit of OT.
Every vic comp from biggest to smallest seems to struggle for judges yet there are a growing number of people keen to enter and get feedback on their beers.
It's extremely difficult to run an effective comp with insufficient judges.
If, as a competitor you wish for decent feedback on your brew, consider judging in at least one of the comps that occurs throughout the year. Don't leave it to the same small number of regulars. If you can review a commercial beer, brewery or case swap beer, you can be an amateur judge. All you need is the right attitude and to offer 1/2 a day's worth of your time.
Have a crack, help the comp scene grow (or at least sustain its current level)
