Two bottles per entry even if they're 750ml?

We at HUB like to conduct a separate Best of Show round at the end of the comp, with all the top scorers from each class.warra48 said:I guess that's up to you.
If you happen to win a class, then your flat beer will be re-served from the same bottle at the end of the day for best in show assessment.
I'd wait for the paperwork to figure the fine details.
I'm only reporting what was discussed at last night's HUB meeting.
= over $125 entry as well.GrantSpatchcock said:The only downside with the two bottles thing is if you've got a few entries, currently I'm looking at over 25 entries assuming all styles are judged, which is an arseload of bottles!
But rules are rules and I'll play by them happily Unfortunately working that weekend so I can't steward or anything
I agree with Les and Mosto in that if I made the BOS judging I'd be thrilled regardless. I'm also more than happy for any second bottles to go to stewards/judges and other volunteers.GrantSpatchcock said:The only downside with the two bottles thing is if you've got a few entries, currently I'm looking at over 25 entries assuming all styles are judged, which is an arseload of bottles!

Not involved obviously but if you can wing it, I think that is a much better way of doing it.Les the Weizguy said:We at HUB like to conduct a separate Best of Show round at the end of the comp, with all the top scorers from each class.
This removes any judge score bias/inequity between classes/tables.
I'm sure that I'd be happy to reach the BOS round and have a second, unopened, pristine bottle to complete with the other BOS contenders on ALL its merits.
Next year I expect an inviteLes the Weizguy said:BTW, we are looking for both judges and stewards to help out at State Comp. Furthermore, if you are interested in judging both days and staying overnight, the club is organising some subsidised accommodation packages at Potters.
We will organise food for both lunches as well (as usual with beer competitions that I have attended).

Thanks for your time.
Hah, I just did a count. Given what I've currently got fermenting and already have bottled, assuming two entries per category and meads and ciders are judged, I'd have 32 entries. That's $160 odd in fees assuming $5 an entry. Not to mention I've got to get the bottles to the Hunter, which could be very, very costly.mckenry said:= over $125 entry as well.
Jesse, please consider yourself invited this year. Please contact the HUB secretary at the email address above and we'll be happy to look after you.Yob said:Next year I expect an invite
Single bottle entries will absolutely be accepted. The Second bottle is, as has been mentioned, both a backup bottle in case the first bottle opened has carbonation or contamination issues (and naturally we'd like to taste the best version of the beer supplied) and also as the second entry for the BOS round (again, so we can judge the best sample of the beer provided).GrantSpatchcock said:Hah, I just did a count.

Here's hoping single bottle entries are accepted!! But either way, it's the states, its once a year, and I'll get them up there.
Ken, and Grant, and other potential entrants: We will be organising a number of drop-off points, and may be prepared to pay for collection and transport from those points. Details are in the works, and will be posted shortly, as well as cut-off dates.Kumamoto_Ken said:I agree with Les and Mosto in that if I made the BOS judging I'd be thrilled regardless.

My initial question regarding the two bottle requirement was more to do with getting my entries in. I imagine there'll be no drop-off points near me (Queanbeyan), so I'll have to mail entries and that'll end up being pretty expensive if I enter a few categories.
