NHC Regional: Shipping to Non-Dallas Site

[donniestyle]

SO, I guess nobody cares about judges not being able to judge because they entered the category in our region. If our local judges send their entries to our region, we may not be able to get the judging done the first weekend.

Don has a valid point. We can discuss with our officers to see if the club is interested in paying for or subsidizing the cost of shipping to a non-Dallas site.

If you are interested in shipping to a remote site, please post to this topic so we can get a count of those interested.

Well the issue is not about money since the club has plenty. You might want to think about the whole thing though because if you ship our beers to another region, you loose the "home court advantage". It is not that our beer would get judged differently since the judging is blind but if you ship beer there is a certain "degredation" that occurs because of rough handling. I am convinced that is what happens for instance when we send beer to Houston. If you look into it, you may find that you really don't loose that much in the way of eligable judges since there are so may catagories. By the way, my opinion is impartial since I don't plan on entering anyhow since I fully intend to drink all my potential entries.

I appreciate Bill's point also (not the one at the top of his head).

Damon, Orlando, Scott and others have had success sending entries to Colorado.

Food for thought.
