Cary writes: >"What would be the expected minimum number of judges >required to judge BOS? I know the maximum number has been >established, but I don't see a minimum expectation." > I am not aware of any official minimum. It seems to me the minimum should probably be 3. Let me explain why this makes sense to me: One BOS judge would allow a single persons infallability and potential biases to overly influence the outcome. We all probably have at least one sub-category that is FAR from our favorite (how about American Lite?), and everyone can have a bad day. Two BOS judges would be an even number. This IMHO is always a mistake. I judged BOS in the Southeastern Homebrewer of the Year (SHY) Invitational competition. (A well run competition with many excellent entries, which I thoroughly enjoyed.) There were 4 BOS judges, 2 recognized and 2 senior Certified judges. The BOS round very nearly deadlocked between a great Belgian Strong and a great Cream Ale. One Cert and One Recognized voted for each. The debate and "bargaining" lasted nearly an hour, and the final decision was never truly as strong as it would have been if there had been a odd number of judges to break the deadlock. This leaves us with 3 as the reasonable minimum. Just my 2 cents. Lyle C.
