Problems or Questions		MCAB Rules & qualification issues: John Peed MCAB XIV competition specifics: Paul Sangster MCAB XIV on-line registration issues: Jim Akin
*Posting of Results*		Our goal is to post results by 11:00 PM EST the night of the competition. The later-than-usual time is necessitated by the Pacific time zone location of the event. Results will be posted on the MCAB XIV Winners page. The main menu will have a link to the results page.
Awards		Premium medals will be awarded to first, second and third place finishers in each of the twenty categories. Also, one - and only one - polo-style shirt will be awarded to each medalist; the logo color will reflect the highest place finish of each medalist. For award purposes, teams will be treated as a single entrant; team members will have to fight over the medal and wash the shirt! (Additional shirts may be ordered at approximately cost for team members of winning teams; details will be furnished to eligible team leaders after the competition. Additional medals are not available.) The Grand Master Award will go to the winner of Best of Show. Only Best of Show will be recognized and awarded. The Grand Champion Award will go to the brewer who accumulates the most medal points. Gold medals will count 3 points, silver 2 and bronze one. Tie breaker: most gold medals 2nd tie breaker: most gold & silver medals 3rd tie breaker: fewest entries 4th tie breaker: fisticuffs in the parking lot Special blue-logo'd shirts will also be awarded to the two "Grand" winners in lieu of the standard gold/silver/bronze-logo'd shirt. There are only four of these in existence now; after MCAB XIV, there will be six.
Mailing of Score Sheets		Our goal is to mail (or scan and e-mail) non-medalists' score sheets within one week of the competition. Medalist's score sheets will be mailed later, along with medals and shirts.
Mailing of Medals, Shirts and Special Awards		Medals will be custom-engraved, shirts will be custom-sized/logo'd and special awards will will be custom-etched; therefore, awards for all medalists will be mailed as soon as all awards are available, so please expect a delay of two to four weeks.

*The fine print*		Entrants must be 21 years of age or older. The entry must be brewed on non-commercial equipment. Entries and bottles cannot be returned. Entries that do not meet the stated bottle requirements may be disqualified; if disqualified, your entry fee will be refunded but the entries will not be returned. Please inquire before submitting any nonstandard entries.
