In looking at some previous standings for a competition - which i had no involvement in, a question arises:
Scenario - in a French/Belgian competition spanning 3 categories (French & Belgian Ales, Sour Beers and Belgian Strong Ales), a beer took second in its category, but won Best Of Show.
How's that possible? I thought i had a handle on the idea of competition scoring until i saw this. I suppose if i were one of the brewers who nabbed a first in any of the 3 categories i'd be a little miffed.
