[MKOB] Meeting-Belgian Competition?

[vibrobrew at netzero.net]

I think the whole judging of beers in this club is discouraging to some brewers.  As a National Judge in the BJCP, the method that you guys use to judge beers is a joke.  Some of the people at the meetings have no idea what beer should taste like and to score some one beer a 50 out of 50 means its the best beer, even better than the benchmark. The last meeting and judging where I had two beers entered, which if just drank by you guys without judging you'd think its gods water.  Some of the beers at my table which I tasted were okay and I did my best educated experince effort to judge the beers correctly and while tallying up the score 3 people on our tabel scored beers which I scored in the 20s which is a good beer, they scored 50 points which is outstanding beers.  Bullshit.  
We should go with the scale that Pat Baker used to do at his homebrew meeting is the Best Out of 10.  1 - 10   1 is garbage and 10 is outstanding. 
Until this club goeswith this scale I'll never bring beer to a meeting again or even participate.  Its not fair to the judges or the brewers.
Oh belgian beers are sour anyway, so I'll just bottle up some White Balsa      mic Vinegar in a longneck.
