I don't like how there is a full week between the final drop off date and the judging date. One week of uncontrolled storage!

Gives them time to sort and prep. Most ppl that run these also work a day job too.

I totally understand. Definitely positives and negatives.

I've read that you can suggest storage and pouring for your beer.
