Just wanted to see who's going/entering. This will be my first competition in four years of brewing and I am entering an oatmeal stout and a Belgian specialty ale. Since I live an hour and a half from the competition site, I also volunteered to be a steward, but since I just passed the BJCP Entrance Exam I sent an e-mail to one of the organizers to ask if I could sit in with a judge to get some experience. I know I would get points for stewarding and not for sitting in with a judge, but in the long run I think sitting with a judge would be more valuable experience.
