Scoring
1. A brewer's Net Score is determined by the formula:
Net Score = (Raw Score) x (Winning Percentage)
2. Only the highest placing beer per 2004 BJCP Style category will be
used for Raw Score points. Raw Score points are awarded as follows:
- 1st Place = 8 points
- 2nd Place = 4 points
- 3rd Place = 2 points
NOTE: Points are not cumulative
for each BJCP category.
For example, if a brewer earns two silver medals in a category that does not
equal 8 points for that category. Instead, it earns the brewer 4 points.
Similarly, if a brewer wins multiple gold medals in a category, the max
points allowed is 8.
In other words, only a single highest placing beer per BJCP category will be
used to determine total points, however, multiple wins in a category will
increase a brewer's winning percentage.
3. All entries from a brewer or team will be used to calculate winning
percentage except special categories unique to a contest.
