How the judges judge and how your beer ranks is just how it is.
Great thing about AABC is that your beers have to be judged as good to get through, that is they have already passed.
How does a beer get 120 in the state and 65 in the Nats given a max 7 point discrepancy between judges.
Could be lots of things, most likely it is the judges, one lot knew what they were doing the other did not.
As I often say, if you did well (twice by the way) enjoy the moment !
I have judged in the odd comp and can say from experience that not all judges are equal and over a wide range of styles none are.

Got mine yesterday. Now I now how I scored so badly. It appears I submitted the wrong beer and with a small infection. Damn! Buggered that up right royally.

 

[mxd]

got mine last night, it appeared to have oxidization, so I opened my last grolsch bottle of it at home and yep the seals don't look that good.

[djneli]

Got mine and it had some really good, reasonably consistant feedback which I think should help me brew an even better beer.

Cheers all for the hard work!

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but on receiving my score sheets it was interesting to not that the score for aroma has been dropped by 2 and appearance increased by 2. AFAIK the BJCP are still operating on 12 and 3 points, can anyone shed some light on this?

cheers

Gordon did mention something about our point allocation on the sheets being slightly different. Yes, the official BJCP is 12 for aroma and 3 for appearance. Which I personally think is better as appearance isn't as important as aroma for me.

But everything being in multiples of 5 makes it a bit simpler I guess.
