I believe 1st through 3rd in each category with a minimum score of 30 and higher advance to the 2nd round. Since the each qualifying competition round has around 750 entries, it's going to be hard for a so-so entry to advance to the 2nd round. Hence, why I'm not so happy with my 2014 entries.
750 entries across all the categories.
So if you have a so-so IPA, you probably won't advance; I assume the IPAs get pretty full.
If you have a less popular style, you would have better odds.
