Official rules:
The EPHY will be awarded to the Homebrewer with the most cumulative points from the four following competitions:
Keystone Hops War of the Worts
LVHB Malt Madness
SCH Amateur Brewing Championship
Number of entries is unlimited but only the top four results for each individual will be used from each competition:
1st place - 5 points
2nd place – 3 points
3rd place – 1 point
BOS will be added to the total as a bonus:
BOS- 5 points
2nd BOS – 3 points
3rd BOS – 1 point
Ties will be decided by more BOS awards or if that is not a factor then more 1st places, then more 2nd places, then 3rds. If all that is equal we will name co-champions.
For example, If no BOS:
9 firsts, 2 seconds, 3 thirds = 58 total
would beat
8 firsts, 5 seconds, 3 thirds = 58 total
Additional notes:
The same beer can be entered in as many competitions as you wish. Contest is open to individuals living in or out of Pennsylvania.
