I think you need to send me one of each so I can help make the determination.  I sense high scores in your future

Now that's what I call true optimism   Isn't the Bluebonnet like about the biggest comp there is?

Good luck and don't be too disappointed if you don't do very well or the feedback looks it was written by a hallucinating junkie as most judges seem to leave feedback like that. Hope your beers will be judged by the rare lucid ones.
Cheers!

I also just entered my first. How long does it usually take to know results? Then how long does it take actually receive your score sheets in the mail? On average.

Depends on the comp.  Most of them post the results pretty quickly so if you've placed you should know it at least within a couple of days.  As far as score sheets go, I've gotten them back within a week, and I've also waited up to five weeks.  I'd say 2 weeks is about average.

Thanks tygo!

Good luck.  I've got some headed to NHC and then I think I will give up on competitions.
