I still don't like the decision to put American Wild into Specialty.
I ran the numbers for the last four years of KCBM comp. Two years (2013 & 2015) Am. Wild was not split out (because 2008 BJCP) and it garnered 6-8 entries. In 2014, we made Am. Wild our special extra category. Got 28 entries in a 587 entry comp. This year, it is its own 2015 BJCP category. We have 25 entries in a 542 entry comp.
Long story made short, if it's own category people will enter the beers that have taken years go make. If not, why waste them by going up against the mess that is Specialty? I have 4-5 Am. Wilds that could go, but I'm torn between sending one or none.
Plus judging Am. Wild with all of the other subcats in there would be not so fun.
