Yeah last year there were no scores on scoresheets, just a star rating system and how many rounds out of 3 your beer advanced. However, some first round judges did put a score on sheets off to the side. I have seen mixed comments this year that there will be first round scores after all of the complaints last year, but then some say no.
As for the delay in getting scoresheets out, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact the week after NHC is July 4th week, so AHA staff is probably mostly out of office and then it's just a matter of verifying and updating 3000-5000 sheets. I mean there are plenty of smaller comps that don't post scoresheets online that take weeks to send them out by mail, so a large comp like this, I don't think that's that unreasonable. It definitely takes time with scanning and uploading all those sheets. I mean think about it, let's say there are 4,000 entries and each entry has 2 judge sheets, that's 8,000 sheets to scan and upload.
