I don't have one yet, since it depends on the number of beers being judged -- if any of the 25 don't get any ratings they have to be removed from the calculations altogether -- and also the average number of ratings that each beer gets. It's rather like the quota in general elections: it'll arrive the same time as the results.

ger cork Offline Posts: 627	I have spoke to Rebel we us meeting on Saturday. Can we suggest that we meet at the Well at 2 p.m. The Beerfest opens at 2 p.m. And it would be best to be there as early as possible as it does get pretty crowded as the evening goes on.
