Homebrew contest between friends, scoresheet help?

[moviebrain]

Myself and two friends will be judging Pilsners we each brewed at the beginning of March. All Wyermann pils malt and Czech Saaz hops, and a German ale Wyeast yeast. Carbonation was to be by bottle conditioning to prevent force-carb and cold crashing clarity helpers. The goal was to keep the recipes simple and sourced from the same place/batch/bin so the judging would reflect process and brewer skill rather than use of odd ingredients or BJCP Style guidelines.

The beers will be presented to us blind by a third party tomorrow evening. None of us have tasted or smelled our beers since bottling, flat and warm, at the start of April.

The original plan was to take the BJCP scoresheet and repurpose it, but does anyone here have a sheet they use, categories or items to suggest for judgement, or any other input?

TL;DR version: German Pilsner ale SMaSH contest tomorrow, focus on process and brewer skill. Scoresheet recommendations are requested

Why wouldn't you go off the bjcp scoresheet? Do you both feel that the recipe used did not fit the Pilsner style accurately? I would use the same scoresheet and agree prior to drinking the beers what you are looking for in them. You will be able to discuss what you like/dislike together and agree on a score for each and then the third party can tell you whose was whose. Sounds like a fun experiment!

Well, as I said the original plan was and is to use the BJCP score sheet. I was just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions or who may have held similar contests between friends.

Thanks for the input.
