Sounds pretty good DJ. Although some are slightly vague. Ale vs. Bitter?
And as for H - Human parts? Soylent Brown Ale? shudder

Nothing set in stone as yet...

Ale - has to have Ale as part of name

Bitter - has to have Bitter as part of name

Body parts ie. Bishops 'Finger'

Right, gotcha. I understand better now. I did understand the H one, but it just made me chuckle anyway.

I also like the look of this too DJ - would we keep the scrabble scoring system though?

Personally I think we should - points can easily be totted up using a scrabble calculator and it'll make the whole competition more open in the points range imo.

DJ loves his rexel calculator and pencil he doesn't need a online calculator

Ooh you guys....

Forgot about Scrabble, though no reason why it couldn't make a showing.... oh look U.K. doesn't have anything beside it....

~Mike~ · 11 Feb 2013 at 09:26

Maybe use the scrabble scoring for some of the rounds but not all of them.

Sorry mate there is going to be one and this time there will be a limited number (4 choices) of supermarkets to pick from, just to give it an added twist

PapaLazaru · 11 Feb 2013 at 14:19

I like to look of it. Will be lot's of fun and more easily accessible for everyone. Some certain 3 pointers for all in there but a lot of competition in other sections.

pingwing · 12 Feb 2013 at 12:56

DJ thank you very much

silent · 12 Feb 2013 at 13:13

Boooooooooooooooooo

ok, have mine already then

Martynt74 · 12 Feb 2013 at 14:28

To avoid Cider (bleugh) how about C for Country, where you have to choose a beer from a country not selected from the original competition?

There is a country round... M for multi choice as in country voting and come on this is about trying new stuff and maybe out there we can find a cider you like

~Mike~ · 12 Feb 2013 at 17:43

Well cider isn't beer and this is a beer comp, so maybe make C = Craft Beer?

DirtyJester · 12 Feb 2013 at 17:46

If most people are against Cider in the competition then I can come up with something else no problem....

...just thought it would be nice to include it this time?

~Mike~ · 12 Feb 2013 at 17:49

I don't mind either way. It was just a suggestion.
