Let Chris or Jerald know if interested in judging the competition. All of our BJCP Study Group Judge Apprentices and current judges are highly encouraged to participate. Since we may require judges that are also entrants, we’ll need to work out the details of judge category placement, etc. Please see Chris for a Judge Information Form at the next meeting or contact him (912-667-9733).
Out of Town Judges: We need you too! Please contact Chris (912-667-9733) to receive a Judge Information Form.
It is expected that the competition will take place all on Saturday with a 9:00 a.m. session and a 12:30 session. Lunch for judges and stewards will be provided. Judges & stewards should arrive no later than 8:30 a.m. Judges/Stewards are allowed to bring their beers the morning of the competition with prior approval and as long as all entry forms and fees are pre-paid by the entry date (arrive by 8:00 a.m. if bringing entries).
BOS round will occur after category rounds are completed and may not take place on Saturday.
The annual Blues & BBQ event at the Roundhouse, located near downtown, will take place both Friday and Saturday nights, at which a number of club members will be volunteer servers in the Beer Garden. As a special perk for judges, a limited number of complimentary guest passes are available on a first-come first-served basis for out-of-town judges who would like to attend, so let us know early and we’ll send a comp ticket. It’s a great time to see some of the best blues bands in the Country, enjoy some good bar-b-que and nice selection of craft brews!
In lieu of staying in a hotel, arrangements to stay at a beach house on Tybee Island can also be made with an SBL member. |
