Hi,
I'm fairly new to this whole competition thing and am studying to be a BJCP judge so I'm trying to understand something.
For this competition I've supplied the results link to I see there were 8 medals given for a single category(Stouts). While it looks like this was consolidated to encompass all stouts, wouldn't there normally only be 3 medals and a possible honorable mention?
I get that you want some variation like the ability to set up competition specifics like perhaps having a Belgian only competition or something like that but shouldn't a standard competition follow the same logic as others with giving out only 3 medals(assuming the beers score appropriately) per category?
Also there is 1 beer entered for the category of Pilsner and it got a gold medal. Couldn't the single Pilsner be consolidated with say the Light Hybrid category which only had 6 entries as well or are you not allowed to consolidate across categories, only within sub-categories.

Just trying to understand the competitions a bit more.
Thanks
