What's the point of competing if you don't get good feedback? My son and I will not likely renew our AHA next year.That isn't good, cheaping it down

the other one i didn't have high hopes for because i used some yeast i had on hand that was clearly not to style. It was otherwise well done and scored a 30 &32 and sent to a mini-bos. No surprise that it didn't place but i was surprised to see than no bronze medal was awarded in the category.
That could be the case but they don’t say that anywhere in the rules. My understanding is 30+ goes to mini-bos , judges pick the best three.IMO scores of 30 & 32 are good enough to receive a bronze metal. Gold and silver would obviously be higher. Per the BJCP score sheet 30 - 37 = very good. Maybe the rules of that competition has set levels for a given placement.
I don't know what happened in this case, but I think BJCP judges generally have the option to not award medals (even to 1st place) if they don't think the beer(s) that otherwise ranked into that place(s) are medal worthy. I can't say I've seen it happen much though.

You are correct @VikeMan. It is rare but if all entries score below a deserving threshold a ribbon is not awarded simply because an offering was entered. However, those entered will be evaluated and feed back provided to the brewer.I don't know what happened in this case, but I think BJCP judges generally have the option to not award medals (even to 1st place) if they don't think the beer(s) that otherwise ranked into that place(s) are medal worthy.
