About Qualifying Preliminary Rounds
Note: Dates subject to change to coincide with Philly Beer Week 2011
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.
