NHC Results

[YouEnjoyMyself]

This is my first year entering beers into NHC. If judging ends tomorrow, when should we expect results? My beers were entered into NYC region.

Results aren’t posted until a week or so after all areas are done. Tampa for instance isn’t until next week.

And that's assuming they finished. There is a ton of work that goes into this comp and if they don't have enough judges, they may have to finish up the following weekend. Philly also judged this past weekend so they may have split the judging pool for the area.

Anyone know if NY finished this weekend?

Judging from comments online it would appear yes NY finished. Portland and San Diego did too. Not sure about others, but the site does say "verifying results" for both Philly and Denver too.

I hope I'm wrong, but I swear I remember in previous years the status sitting on "verifying results" for up to a week. That said, I'm crossing my fingers that I'm wrong and results start popping up later today and over the next couple days.

April 27 at the latest looks like the deadline. But it looks like once the scoresheets are scanned and entered for each location the results may be posted. Scanning is a pretty time consuming job and may take a few hours a night for a week.

My club runs a 600 entry competition and it takes 2 guys scanning and filing for the entire 2 days of the competition plus scanning as we go during the weekends leading up to the final weekend to get it done by the awards banquet.

Last year it was about a week, except for a couple regions that didn't finish on time. I believe Philly still had some entries from the weekend but were expecting to have them done by next weekend.

There were also 5 regions judging this weekend, so the AHA folks will need time to get them into their database. Sure beats the time when they would hold all the results until each region was done.

I'm guessing late this afternoon the regions who judged last weekend will release results.

Denver is posted

Edit: Portland added too

Patiently waiting for NYC

Got my email from the AHA yesterday saying judging has been completed. I would expect middle to end of next week for results to be posted.

Philly is judging at 9am today and only have 4 tables to finish, so by next weekend for them I would guess too

How do you know they're judging today? I got the Philly e-mail yesterday that judging was complete.

Website said philly was judged last weekend and they were verifying results.

Philly did not finish judging last weekend. There is A judging session today to finish the last couple tables/categories.

 

[Yooper]

Indianapolis is going on this weekend.

 

[fpweeks]

Just going by the what the website has said for past few days.

 

[kingmatt]

Yeah, I saw that too but also got an email from the organizer asking for judges to help finish judging today. Just wanted to let Philly entrants know to expect a bit of a longer wait for their results.

I know one of the judges

So it’s probably likely it’s the same story in NYC. Next year I guess I’ll enter in a smaller venue.

 

[kingmatt]

It can happen anywhere, really. It just depends on how many judges they can get to come out. Bigger metros like Philly and NYC usually have a lot more judges than some of the smaller regions.

I've judged Philly the past few years and this is the first time this has happened that I can remember.

In terms of entries..... all the venues are the same size. Theoretically, the bigger areas should have more judges available and this should be less of a problem in those areas.

 

[thrillhouse]

San Diego is up.

 

[user 21663]

Hoping for one more today....come on NY!

 

[fpweeks]

Stevo155 what did you enter?......and no kidding, im debating about doing a re-brew but kinda want to see whats up!

 

[fpweeks]

i entered a milk stout and a barrel aged fruited sour.

 

[user 21663]

Octoberfest
ESB
American Amber
Specialty Cider

I doubt I'll rebrew if anything gets through...just don't have the space or time to brew new batches.

I'm in the KC region...they aren't even judging until this weekend. They getting a head start on some today, but I've got a week to wait for results regardless.

I'm skimming quickly through the thread and my brain grabbed "sour milk stout". Screech to a halt and back that up because I knew that wasn't right...

I normally enter the KC region (even though I'm in NH) because I've always done well there and in the KCBM comp. The late date was part of the reason I didn't enter there.

 

[Pintabone]

i'm hoping to get the results from Philly in the coming days. Been eagerly anticipating.
