Some judges score the beers using a digital scoresheet and others use the conventional pen and paper format. You could possibly get both scoresheets in the electronic format, get both in the conventional format or you could get one in each format. The digital scoresheets should be available the evening of the competition. The scoresheets in paper form will be scanned and uploaded into the competition software. That should take no more that 1 week.
