Disclaimer
All decisions of the Texas Redcoat Challenge judging committee are to be considered final. Be assured that every effort will be taken to create an uncompromising, blind-tasting environment for the judging of all entries. TRC judging committee reserves the right to realign medal categories based on final subcategory entries. The Head Judge reserves the right to disqualify an entry by sight or aroma alone. If this occurs, a refund will be issued to the entrant. Should it be determined that an entry has been doctored or altered in such a way as to gain an unfair advantage or be dangerous, that entrant may be banned from future participation.
