About Qualifying Preliminary Rounds

Sponsor's Bar, Brewpub, or Restaurant will hold a Home Competition between January 1, 2011 and May 22, 2011:

Each participating Bar, Brewpub, or Restaurant in the Philadelphia Metro and Suburban areas must be registered to Sponsor a Qualifying Preliminary Round.
Each Sponsor will hold a Qualifying Preliminary Round between January 1, 2010 and May 22, 2011 at their own Bar, Brewpub, or Restaurant.
Make it easy! Contact Jason Harris or Carolyn Smagalski for a list of "beer groups" who want you to sponsor them. You will have an instant crowd for your qualifying round, without having to do any of the footwork
Your Preliminary Round can be a simple "Quizzo Night" using beer trivia questions supplied by Philly Beer Geek, or can be a competition designed by the bar, brewpub, or restaurant. It should be Philly beer-centric, but can include a combination of performance beer skills including beer tasting, trivia, beer jingles, telling classic bar jokes, beer haiku, or other feats of a beery nature.
Winners from the Qualifying Preliminary Rounds must be available to participate at the Semi-Finals Competition on May 24, 2011 AND at the Finals on Thursday night, June 9, 2011. Both the Semi-Finals Competition and the Finals Competition will take place at the same venue (to be determined).
Participating Bars, Brewpubs, or Restaurants must register their Preliminary Round Beer Geek Winners by 11:59 p.m., Sunday, May 22, 2011 and will send their Preliminary Round Winners to the Semi-Finals Competition on May 24, 2011.
All Sponsorship Prizes are due on Tuesday, June 1, 2011. Call Jason at 215-855-0100 to arrange for drop-off or pick-up.
All Winners of Qualifying Preliminary Rounds will compete in the Semi-Finals Competition.
