Brew Competition Online Entry & Management

Please check the Good to Know list before posting any issue.

Working repository of BCOE&M.

Website: https://www.brewingcompetitions.com Helpful Articles:

The Brew Competition Online Entry and Management (BCOE&M) system is an online application to assist homebrew competition organizers - of the beer/mead/cider variety - to collect, store, and manage their competition entry, organization, and scoring data.

The biggest challenges of organizing a homebrewing competition is knowing who has entered what and how many, organizing judging efficiently, and reporting the results of the competition in a timely manner. BCOE&M provides a single online interface to collect entry and participant data, organize judging tables and assignments, input scoring data, and report the results. Features include, but certainly aren't limited to:

  • Collecting entry information from participants.
  • Four major style guideline collections to use: BJCP 2021, BJCP 2015, Brewers Association (BA), Australian Amateur Brewing Championship (AABC).
  • Defining categories and styles customized to your competition's needs.
  • Facilitating online entry fee payments (via PayPal).
  • Organizing and assigning participants as judges, stewards, and staff.
  • Defining tables/flights and assigning judges and stewards to them.
  • Mobile entry check-in using QR and/or barcodes.
  • Electronic scoresheets for use in virtual and/or in-person judging.
  • Scoresheet upload.
  • 60+ reports for use before, during, and after judging.
  • 20+ data export options.
  • Custom modules for information/functionality unique to your competition.

The best part: BCOE&M is free and open-source. Hundreds of competitions around the world have utilized BCOE&M since its first release back in 2009.

Fallback Installation

There are times when the online setup encounters issues that prevent the installation from successfully completing. That's why there's a Fallback Installation method. For those experiencing any issues related to the initial browser-based setup, the bcoem_baseline_2.X.X.sql document is available in the package's /sql/ folder. This document contains the necessary database structure and dummy data for a new installation that can be installed manually via phpMyAdmin or shell access. Be sure to follow the directions in the document BEFORE use.

Issue Reporting and Bug Fixes

Keep an eye out for the fixed in latest master commit tag. Needless to say, however, the master and other branch commits housed here in the repository are NOT FOR PRODUCTION! Bugs may be present.
