Not wanting to stir the pot too much, but IIRC it used to be that the NSW comp accepted all-comers, BUT only NSW entries were allowed to proceed to the Nationals.Yob said:Doesn't actually say anywhere that it's open only to NSW residents...
???
Makes sense to me, to limit APAs that will be likely to palate-fatigue many judgesbarls said:yep that correct. its also the biggest category as well
Totally agree with Les' points. 1 entry only for APAs is not perfect for entrants who might wish to get feedback on a couple of different APAs I realise but is much better in terms of all entrants so you can have judges who are finding it hard to taste/smell the hops at the end of a very long flight.Les the Weizguy said:Not wanting to stir the pot too much, but IIRC it used to be that the NSW comp accepted all-comers, BUT only NSW entries were allowed to proceed to the Nationals.
Other states and territories were for feedback only, and prizes at the discretion of the competition committee.
I think that Yob would be more than satisfied to enter his State comp, and would get the same feedback there, so why both with the NSW comp?

State entries should not be disadvantaged if others enter the competition. That means that the top three entries from the state are able to go forward to the national competition. The entry rules on the site now state that places and prizes are only for NSW residents. So non-NSW people are welcome to enter but that's just for feedback.Bribie G said:So if Queensland, WA and Victorian entries took first, second and third in - for example - Strong Stouts then there would be no NSW strong stouts heading for the Nats?
Or, at the judging tables would the NSW entries be judged first with the judges informed that they were judging NSW entries, then proceed to an announced flight of out-of-state entries judged for comments only?
Exactly as barls says. :beerbang:barls said:more than likely out of state ones would be marked for feed back only but that decision lies with the person or persons running the comp.
even if they were scored they would be removed from the rankings.
