Rules
**********IMPORTANT WARNING*********
Domras Cup will be open for all entries 11/15/2024. Any entries entered before this date are subject to removal and disqualification as we set up the competition site for optimal performance.
Yes we have temporarily raised the entry fee to $999 while we work through getting the site set up and ready for 11/15 open. The last couple of years swarms of people entered their entries early before we were fully set up and ready to go. Since the BCEOM site won’t allow us to open it and lock entries via password during this time the SBL determined that temporary raising the entry fee to $999 should help keep early entries from being registered. On 11/15 it will drop back down to $12 as usual.
******************************************
This competition is AHA sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older.
If you registered at domrascup.com last year, your same email address and password are still actively registered in our system.
All mailed entries must be received at the mailing location by the shipping deadline - please allow for shipping time.
All entries will be picked up from drop-off locations the day of the drop-off deadline.
All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or Brew on Premises operations, supplies, etc.).
The competition organizers are not responsible for mis-categorized entries, mailed entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.
The competition organizers reserve the right to combine styles for judging and to restructure awards as needed depending upon the quantity and quality of entries.
Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The average of the scores will rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.
Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.
The competition committee reserves the right to combine overall style categories based on number of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.
The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners.
Bottles will not be returned to entrants.
Entry Acceptance Rules
Number of Bottles Required Per Entry: 2
Each entry will consist of capped/corked bottles that are void of all identifying information, including labels and embossing. Printed caps are allowed, but must be blacked out completely.
12oz brown glass bottles are preferred; however, green and clear glass will be accepted. Swing top bottles, corked bottles, and cans will likewise be accepted.
The judges will not see the entries as this is a 100% blind judging competition and the cellar will prepare each entry in a Domras Cup glass for the steward to present to the judges.
One entry equals minimum of 24 oz (two 12 oz bottles or one 750 ml bottle). Max entries per brewer is 5 for the entire Domras Cup competition.
Bottles will not be returned to contest entrants.
All requisite paperwork must be submitted with each entry and can be printed directly from this website once the entries have been paid for by checking the "print" check box for each entry. Entry paperwork should be attached to bottles by the method specified on the bottle label (taped to bottles). Bottles attached with rubberbands and bagged labels are also acceptable.
Be meticulous about noting any special ingredients that must be specified. Failure to note such ingredients may impact the judges' scoring of your entry.
