1 Master Registration Forms for each class, preferably computerised..

    2. Labels bearing Class letter and entry numbers (up to 5 of each entry)

    3. One or more wine cases, with sound bottoms (maybe duct tape reinforced) for each class boldly marked with the class in thick felt pen.

PROCEDURE

Devise a system of entry numbers so that no two entries bear the same number. A possible system includes the letter of the class with the class entry number. For example, the Dessert class is class F, thus the entries in this class might be labelled F1, F2, F3 etc.

REGISTERING AN ENTRY:

    1. Have Master Registration Form, labels, wine case, tagged entry and Competitor's entry form in front of you. Some of these might be computerised.

    2. Stick one label on the Master Registration Form. Beside it write the Competitor's name, club, Province and any other information you wish to have in one place.

    3. Place a second label on the Competitor's Entry Form.

    4. Place a third label on the Entry Tag on the bottle.

    5. Place the fourth and fifth labels on each side near the top of the bottle itself. (So two Judges on opposite sides of the table can see the entry number).

    6. Only now remove the Entry Tag from the bottle, and save it for re-identifying the entry after the judging is complete.

    7. Place the entry in the appropriate wine case for storage and subsequent transfer to the judging place.

The bottle is now anonymous except for the entry number. The entry number should appear in FIVE places: twice on the bottle; on the entry tag; on the entry form and on the Master Registration Form.
