2012 AHA Club Only Competition Info
From the American Homebrewer's Association (AHA) Website:
The Club-Only Competition (COC) program offers AHA-Registered Homebrew Clubs an opportunity to compete with other AHA-registered homebrew clubs. Each competition concentrates attention on a specific style of beer or mead, giving your club the opportunity to educate club members in these styles by focusing on them at club meetings or tasting events.
...
All AHA-registered homebrew clubs are eligible to host and to compete in the COC. Each club may only send one entry per competition. Your club should determine the procedure for selecting your club’s entry. Selection procedures can vary widely–some clubs choose an entry during an informal tasting, while larger clubs often run a formal competition. The club then sends the chosen entry to the appropriate judging site (see Schedule).
If your club’s entry places in any of the six Club-Only Competitions that are held on an August to May cycle, your club earns points towards the AHA Homebrew Club of the Year award on a twelve-eight-four basis for first, second and third places respectively. Additional club points are earned on a six-four-two basis for first, second and third places respectively in the First and Final Rounds of the National Homebrew Competition.
Each Club-Only Competition covers one or more categories with one or more subcategories from the BJCP Style Guidelines. To ensure your club’s entry is appropriately evaluated, pay close attention to the categories and subcategories of the competition.
ASH is participating in this series of competitions again this year. The entries will be due at the general meetings according to the following schedule (keep checking back as the schedule may change):
January - Dark Lagers
February - Stout
April - Scottish and Irish Ale
July - Porter
September - Light Hybrid Beers
November - Ant Hayes Memorial Burton (Olde) Ale

Competition Committee Comment by Barry Weeg on February 22, 2012 at 3:02pm -
The next round is due on Thursday, February 23rd. You can drop them off at the clubhouse during our rescheduled AZ Beer Week general meeting featuring Lauren Salizar. This month we are looking for stouts. That includes anything that would be entered in category 13. This is for Club Only again, so we are requiring 3 (THREE) BOTTLES complete with BOTTLE LABELS attached to each bottle with rubber bands and ENTRY FORMS. And remember, all Club Only entries also count toward HBOY. So make sure to turn them in so you can start collecting points.

The next style for 2012 is Stout. We'll have to collect entries by the end of February to enter them before the March 17 deadline.

AHA chooses the style with plenty of time to brew them, you just have to remember to look. May 2014 is Porter.
