The Brew Competition Online Entry site has been fully redesigned to celebrate its new domain name, brewcompetition.com, and the launch of the new BCOE Hosting Subscription service.
July 23, 2010
The full release of BCOE version 1.1.5 is now available from SourceForge or Google Code.
Version 1.1.5 is a small, mostly bug-fix release. But, like the previous version, it does incorporate a few new user-requested features:
- Ability to enter more than one competition official, their positions, and their email addresses.
- Use of a captcha-enabled contact form instead of mailto: links for all competition officials. A spam prevention measure.
- Added a notes line for drop off locations. Use for adding any extra information such as the time of pick up, who to ask for at the location, etc.
- Sponsors are now tiered by rank from 1 through 5. 1 is considered the highest tier for display purposes. Great for grouping sponsors by their donation level to the competition.
- Two new entry form printouts, in addition to the BJCP-style recipe form: simple metric and simple U.S. Admins choose one of the three for their installation.
The Brew Competition Online Entry (BCOE) system is an online application to assist homebrew competition hosts (of the beer variety) to collect, store, and output participant and entry data.
One of the biggest challenges of organizing a homebrewing competition is knowing who has entered what and how many come competition day. BCOE provides an online interface to collect this information beforehand and output it to compliant software for use on competition day.
Homebrew competition organizers that wish to have an online entry portal that can gather all of the necessary data from participants and their asscoiated entries.
