Received my score sheet today for my IPA and received a 37.5. Only real dings were Hazyness and alcohol. It was fermented low 60s and was 6.8abv. None the less I'm happy!

I'm actually surprised I didn't place.
just entered my first competition this past weekend. my IPA scored a 39
Did you place with a 39?
usually one judge is high(er) ranking and one low(er)ranking - generally pay the most attention to the remarks of the more experienced judge.
Point being don't place too much emphasis on the numbers and remember that everyone has different tastes and perceptions.
Amen.
BTW, Kevin (Braufessor), I had your Vitamin C in Mini-BOS. It was truly the best APA I've had. You mind sharing the recipe with me?

nope. i made it to the finalist table but didn't make the top 3. i had the beer that took second place and it was definitely better than mine, so i'm happy with how things turned out. it was a case of my beer conforming to style better, but the others tasting better.Did you place with a 39?

regardless, i'm very happy with my result.
Your cellar must look like a pre-war toxic waste site
I find the BJCP judging to be highly subjective.
I find the BJCP judging to be highly subjective. I had a tripel rank a 42 in the Best Florida Beer championship and not make it past the first round, and have that same beer given a 34 in a local club comp and medal silver.
