About the 2015 BJCP Guidelines
Like the previous years, we are using the 2015 BJCP judging guidelines
For entrants, the most important changes made in the 2015 Guidelines are:
- The entries that used to be in 23A is now split into a lot more categories and subcategories.
- While all of the previous subcategories are still used, some of them may have name changes. See the tagging section in the BJCP Guidelines for help understanding the new classification system.
- More information is expected from entrants in most categories. For specific details see the Entry Instructions cheat sheets:
