Each competitor will be provided signage for their station by The LAB, and must submit company name and beverage(s) entered for this signage. Competitors may bring table coverage, and a reasonable amount of additional promotional material - companies utilizing excessive advertising at their table will be asked to scale back, as this event should be fun, comfortable and community focused.

Competitors will receive scoring categories and point system before the event, and attendee ballots will be simplified to a single entry choice per category.
