BCOE&M 1.2.1.3: Features

BCOE&M collects competition judge, steward, and participant information including name, address, phone, and email address. It also collects and associates entries for each participant based upon 2008 BJCP styles.

Participants have the option to enter their recipes or import them using BeerXML-compliant files.

Once the participant enters their brews, they can print the necessary documentation consisting of BJCP style entry forms and bottle labels. They can even pay online via PayPal if the option is enabled.

Competition organizers have a full suite of competition organization tools at their fingertips including defining tables and flights, assigning judges to tables/flights, and entering scores for each entry after judging. There is also a comprehensive set of reporting tools available including pullsheets, table cards, judge/steward sign in sheets, address labels, judging labels, competition results, etc.
