A heads up to anyone who has entered this:
The date has now changed to 12th October, to avoid a clash with an event on the original 14th September date (I'm assuming this is the Craft Beer Channel / Malt Miller festival).
There is a chance it could move again though as it now clashes with Norwich Amateur Brewers' competition.

Just move the others
My entry was delivered today
Let us know how you get onHad two entries. One I bottled up and it was properly oxidised, I know exactly what I did wrong, so I was definitely not sending that garbage!
So only one. Hopefully delivered in one piece.
Scores and winners are up - sheets not yet uploaded
Well done winners!!!
I am not one, but that's okay! This was definitely a feedback needed beer and nothing better than to have folks who know what they're talking about give me some!

Very pleased to see my Best Bitter got bronze. Very pleased indeed. 
Edit: Even more chuffed now looking back at the recipe and remembering I used my home grown Fuggles!

Well done to everybody and thanks to the organisers.. Picked up two golds, utterly blown away right now...
Congratulations!
I knew my beer wouldn't win. I know one thing that went wrong but wanted see what the judges made off. I'm looking forward to reading their comments.

3rd place for my golden ale in this comp so atleast it was consistent across the two comps this weekend. Good score for a Brett Saison also ..pleasing weekend 
Well done to everyone that entered and to those that managed to place

Is there still an issue with viewing the scoresheets?
There appears to be. I can't see mine
Jack has just posted on Facebook that they are still working on it and hope to have an update soon.
Scoresheets have now been emailed. Mine were in my junk.
Got them. Thanks Jack for fighting the IT gremlins and huge thank you for organising the event!
In the interest of constructive feedback, im not a huge fan of this format of scoresheet. Just a few tick boxes and little in the way of describing the beer. I get they prob allow for judging to be done a lot faster though
IMO if this type of scoresheet is used, judges should always write a final comment, ideally focusing on how that beer could score better. When a beer gets mid 30’s+ with no flaws its often hard to get a sense of how to make it better/true to style
As i say, huge thanks to jack, judges and sponsors, i love beer comps. Just hopefully some constructive feedback on this type of scoresheet

Very much agree with all of this - including the thanks to Jack and the team.
Unfortunately, I have a score sheet with absolutely nothing other than numbers. Not even any tick marks so I have no idea what I should do to improve my score.
Much as winning the odd prize now and then is nice, the main reason I enter competitions is to get feedback so I can improve my beers. If that isn't forthcoming then the reasons for entering sadly begin to dwindle.
