Voting
Voting will be done via "crowd favorite" at the given monthly meeting. Each person at the judging club night will receive 5 tickets and will vote for their favorite beer/beers. At the end of the night the tickets will be added up and points will be assigned.
The winner will be determined by a point system described below. Points will be determined by the number of participants that entered the competition, not the number of entries each round. Crowd favorite voting (5 tickets per guest to be used in any way)
Whomever is ranked #1 at the end of the November Club night judging will be crowned winner of the Bombing Run and hold the title of said year's "The Bomb".
BOMBing Run Finals tiebreaker goes to the member with the most overall votes throughout the year. If a BOMBer skips a round, they may enter the following round. If they skip more than one round, they will be disqualified.
Point System
As stated in the rules, points will be determined by the number of members registered at the beginning of the BOMBing Run. For example, if 10 members enter the competition, the most points one can earn, per round, is 10 points; 12 members, 12 points and so on. Members will be ranked by points they earn after each round of voting is complete. Points earned will equal the place you come in the night of judging.
Example: 10 contestants
1st place 10 points
2nd place 9 points
3rd place 8 points
4th place 7 points
With eventually 10 place getting 1 point.
If there is a tie, points will be handed out for that place and the next rank will be determined by how many is in the tie.
Example: 10 contestants
If there is a tie for first place each competitor will receive 10 points with the next competitor being in 3th place receiving 8 points, etc. If 3 people tie for lowest tokens they would tie for 8th place and receive 3 points.
