    2011 Competition Rules

  • Beers entered in HRBC will have points transferred into BARF BOWL.
  • Brewer may enter more than one beer per competition. The beer with the highest score will move on to Best of Show round.
  • The competition will run from January until December.
  • The Brewer who accumulates the most points for the year will win the competition! There is also a 2nd and 3rd place finish for the year.
  • In the case of a tie for any finishing place at the end of the year, the most finishes at the highest place in each competition will be counted, until a tie does not result. For example, a tie would result in counting most first place finishes, if still a tie, count second place finishes, and so on. No resolution will result in a grand brew off of the presidents discretion.

  • 3 points for 1st place
