When are we goin to start seeing video? I'd love to see an entire routine from start to finish from the semi's or finals at one of these events just to know the entire process and to see a pro at work. Maybe even pdfs of rules and scoring sheets to know more about the process.   Knife-Wielding Barista back to top dan_kehn Moderator Joined: 3 Apr 2003 Posts: 2,829 Location: Cary, NC Posted Wed Sep 21, 2005, 9:48am Subject: Re: SERBC Barista Competition 2005, Road Reports   The rules and score sheets are available on the SCAA's website (all). Below are the ones that apply to scoring: Head judge score sheet Technical judge score sheet Sensory judge score sheet And also: Competitor rules & regulations Judges rules & regulations Counter Culture Coffee arranged for three videocams to record the competition. Cindy Chang hopes to produce a DVD of the event, but funds for editing is an issue. Any hobbists video editors willing to take it on? -- Dan PS: Also check out Chemically Imbalanced for Ben's SERBC 2005 play-by-play.

Since his time was very limited, he decided to go for a more artistic edge than documentary style. Below is one of the better examples from Lem's performance in the preliminaries.
