Entry paperwork and any checks/payment necessary are due by the entry deadline at the address listed at the beginning of this document. Payments must be received prior to the competition, or your entry will not be judged.
Entrants are responsible for categorization of their entries and providing all pertinent information requested on the entry form. The Mazer Cup is not responsible for mis-categorized mead and it cannot be changed once you enter, so double-check all your entries before you click send!
If the competition organizers determine that there are not enough entries in a given category (minimum 4) , the category will be collapsed into a closely related category.
Entries that fail to list the sweetness or carbonation levels will be judged relative to the defaults defined in the most current BJCP Style guidelines.
Mead must arrive at the mead shipping address by the entry deadline of March 1, 2013.
***NOTE: International entries : Please check shipping times to Colorado for your country and allow extra time for shipping and clearing US Customs. We suggest that labeling your package as 'yeast sample' may help it clear Customs faster.
