Has anyone here participated in this competition?
Did you qualify in a 2014 comp?
The ones I listed were 2013 comps, for the final to be held this april.
I have cat. 11 qualified so far in 2014, for the final that will be held next spring in 2015. So, if yours is one that you just qualified - you have a whole year+ until the actual final. I will know a little more about it in a couple months.
Their homepage/website has a lot of info on it. I am looking forward to participating in it for the first time this spring.
The website does have a decent amount of information on it.

Here is the info for the 2013 Qualifiers and the final that will be judged april 2014.

They had this info out in about January of this year.
I think it is kind of a "floating" final - and they need a homebrew club to take charge of it from one year to the next. So, they do not have all the details about the final out until about 3 months before the final. So, for 2014 contests, they have info out about qualifying comps, and they update qualifiers as the results come in - but the actual finals information will not probably be available until next winter i would guess.
Every entry at MCAB already won its category at a pretty legit competition. A brewer would have already gotten feedback from other competitions on these beers.
I mostly agree, until you take first place with a 35 and a recognized and non-bjcp judge as the only judges in the whole flight. Seems like for a national final you should get at least as qualified judging as the qualifier.
