- Only financial members can enter club competitions;
- Two bottles are required for club BJCP competitions (minimum 330mL each). Just throw away the extra two labels that the comp site creates;
- If there is a People's Choice for a competition, submit a minimum of 1.5L so there is enough to go around (in addition to any BJCP bottles of course);
- Generally, you can decide to enter the BJCP or the People's Choice or both. If you enter both (as most people do), you'll need to submit sufficient total bottles/quantity for 1) AND 2) above;
- Up to two entries per brewer, limited to 1 entry per sub-category, per competition; but only one (the highest scoring) is eligible for certificates and prizes
- Write your entry number (not the BJCP category) on the lid. Write directly on the cap or stick a "dot" on there to write on;
- If your number is 6, 9, 81 etc., then make it clear which one is yours with a line underneath the number;
- There is no need to add labels to the bottles but if you do affix the labels to the beers with an elastic band or two;
- Try not to print the label in microscopic size. We don't all have good eyes anymore;
- To be eligible for Club Champion Brewer you must enter a minimum of three club competitions per calendar year; and
- The Club Champion Brewer is based on the average of a brewer’s three highest scoring entries, in different competitions, per calendar year;
- Peoples Champion will be awarded to the member who accumulates the most People Choice bottle caps, which will be recorded and tallied at Peoples Choice Awards.
- Write your entry number on the lid.
