Suci ne mogu ocjenjivati ​​u kategorijama u kojima su prijavljeni. Ocjenjivat će se na slijepo. Suci neće znati čije pivo ocjenjuju, stoga se nemojte sramiti prijaviti pivo za koje trebate povratne informacije. Natjecanje je dobar način da dobijete konstruktivna mišljenja o svom pivu koja vam mogu pomoći da se poboljšate kao pivar. Nitko neće znati za vaše rezultate osim ako im vi ne kažete.

23. Natjecatelji mogu vidjeti svoje rezultate istog dana kada je i objava pobjednika, pregledom svojih prijava.

24. Pobjednike pojedinih kategorija dvoboja birat će u finalnim krugovima najiskusniji suci. Iz svake sesije ocjenjivanja najbolja piva plasiraju se u finalni krug. Tamo se ponovno ocjenjuju za konačne rezultate, ali bez ponovnog bodovanja na bodovnim listićima.

25. Pobjednici svake kategorije dvoboja napreduju u BOS (Best of Show) ocjenjivanje gdje će se odlučiti ukupni pobjednik natjecanja.
