The Open Competition:

The following table indicates how to interpret the ranges in judging scores.

World Class(45-50) A world-class example of the style. A beer with great character and no flaws. These are the beers that everyone talks about after the competition.
Excellent(38-44) Beers in this range may have no flaws but may be missing the intangibles for that world-class beer.
Very Good(30-37) Beers in this range may have a minor technical flaw, or may be lacking in balance or complexity.
Good(21-29) A satisfactory beer that is generally a good beer. Scores near the upper end of this range may have only a few minor flaws and also may be lacking in balance or complexity. Scores near the lower end of this range tend to have more flaws.
Fair(14-20) This beer has its share of problems that may include off flavors and aromas, balance problems, contamination, or other major flaws. Scores near the lower end of this range exhibit more major flaws.
Problematic(0-13) A beer with a major problem (usually contamination) that overwhelms all other flavors and aromas.
