More information about Reggie

Reggie is web based and runs on any web-enabled device (laptops, tablets, cellphones) with any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, Chromebook), and any modern browser that supports HTML5 (Chrome (*recommended*), Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.).
Reggie can be run over Wi-Fi or from your cell phone hotspot.
Reggie will run concurrently on multiple devices (Competition Organizer, Registrar, Judge Director, Scanner, each on separate laptops, for example).
From an Entrant's viewpoint, once an account is set up in Reggie, the account is good for ALL competitions that Reggie hosts. This allows Entrants to review their Entry and Judging history for ALL Reggie competitions.
Reggie handles online Entry registration, and lets you adjust many settings (max #entries per brewer, max #entries in comp, etc.) Reggie also works with PayPal to track payments received.
Reggie supports several different Style Guidelines including the most recent versions of Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP 2015) and World Beer Cup (WBC 2018). You can add your own specialty medal groups ("Coffee beer"), or choose to allow a subset (for example, using the BJCP guidelines for a mead-only competition).
Reggie enforces the Guideline requirements - so if a particular style requires Sweetness and Fruit Type, the entry will not be registered and accepted until this information has been entered.
Reggie handles online Judge registration, and then lets you create Judging Sessions and assign judges appropriately. Judges with entries or style preferences are flagged for you.
Once you have the entry bottles, Reggie assigns random entry numbers and organizes a quick and efficient Bottle Sorting/Labeling party for you.
Reggie tracks who has paid, which registered entries are missing bottles, etc., so you can quickly identify and address these issues.
After you have all the entries ready to go, Reggie helps you in Grouping the entries (for example, you may want to group all Lagers together if there are not enough individual Style entries).
Reggie supports (and encourages) queued judging, but will also handle specific flighting if you prefer. Mix and match.
When you get to judging days, Reggie prints all the forms for you - table identifiers, sign-in/waiver sheets, judge scoresheet labels, flight info sheets, cup labels, flight pull sheets, etc.
As entries are judged, Reggie helps you record the Judges and the points scored. Reggie has continuously updated BJCP Judge information, so if you're BJCP, Reggie already knows about you; if not, then Reggie can easily add you.
Reggie supports scoresheet scanning - so you can scan scoresheets as they are returned by the judges - and then make them available to the entrants immediately after the awards ceremony - with the push of a button.
Reggie manages your competition from first-round judging (queued or not, or both), mini-Best Of Show judging, through Best Of Show judging. You may have multiple BOS panels (for example, Beer and Mead/Cider).
Once the judging is complete, Reggie will print medal labels for you, if desired. Then use Reggie to do an award-by-award Awards Ceremony slideshow on a big-screen TV.
After the Awards Ceremony, click a checkbox to publish all of the medal winner results on the web. Reggie will also email all entrants and provide information to them for how to view/download their scanned scoresheets.
If you are stuffing scoresheets into envelopes for manual distribution (or eventual mailing), Reggie prints envelope addressing and sorting labels to assist.
For final wrapup, Reggie calculates the BJCP judging points for you, lets you review the report (and add missing information, as needed), then automatically submits the report, in XML format, to the BJCP.
Reggie tech support is always available - you can email, text, or call our support cell phone at any time.
Reggie costs between $10 and $200, depending on your competition size: 1-20 entries : $10 USD, 21-150 entries : $30 USD, 151-300 entries : $50 USD, 301-800 entries : $100 USD, 801-99999 entries : $200 USD. This cost covers our expenses for web hosting, bandwidth, online storage, and other costs. Think of it as another comp expense (like judge lunches or copy services). Reggie helps to organize and automate the competition for you, saving you lots of time and headaches.

What are examples of good and bad Mead scoresheets? ?

Section	Good	Bad	How to improve
Stylistic Accuracy, Technical Merit, and Intangibles checkboxes	Each is checked	Some or all not checked	Always check these
Descriptor Definition checkboxes (Acetic, Alcoholic, etc.)	Checked if mentioned in text	All blank	Always check these if they are mentioned in your text sections (Aroma, etc.)

Appearance	Deep straw with slight orangish tint and brilliant clarity, slow teardrop legs, low petillant carbonation, bright surface reflectance, meniscus is darker possibly indicating some age on this mead	Straw, no carbonation	Address all cue words (Color, Clarity, Legs, Carbonation), and provide intensity (low, medium, high, etc.) information for each item; also add Reflectance and Meniscus information if you can
