2025 Competition Champion
2025 Competition Champion
The Competition Champion title is awarded to the member who has accumulated the most points by entering competitions using the criteria below. Points are awarded for only BJCP/AHA registered competitions. The scoring is all based upon the honor system with members submitting their own scores to the Competition Analytics form. The winner at the end of the year will receive a traveling trophy and bragging rights.
Only the top 8 competitions per brewer per year count toward final standings (to avoid one person spamming every comp). The competition season will run the full calendar year.
1st Place = 3 points
2nd Place = 2 points
3rd Place = 1 point
(Placements at Boneyard Brew-Off competitions receive a 1.5x multiplier.)
BOS 1st = 4 points
