Each class was judged by 3 judges in a blind taste test and scored on the Australian Amateur Brewing Championship guidelines AABC Style Guidelines ... which are in turn based on the BJCP guidelines. Here are the preliminary results (official results will be posted later, and yes they spelled my name wrong)...
Sadly the Stout placed 18th overall (out of 19). I would have expected the opposite result given the focus group testing that was done prior to the event. I suspect the carbonation in the Stout is what let the judges down - yet I still think it's one of the best I've brewed and it tastes great. Just means more bottles to enjoy with friends (if you're lucky)! 
When I have the judges comments will post them.
