Worked fine for me Jason, I just uploaded it for you., to your post. I'll delete this here.. {;-) Click Here (www.canadianbaristaacademy.com) P.S. I tested the pdf & it opened fine in my post & in your post Jason, a couple of hrs later it wouldn't open in either post. Opens fine from "My Documents" file with Adobe reader..I did copy your link to the pdf but lost it. I Googled & found the pdf link, so I reposted it back into your post. Sorry, I thought I was helping... This appears to be a bug & is breaking the link during the upload/renaming for the post, it tries to open but says File does not begin with '%PDF-' GRRR.. Hmmm... {:-/ schedule-of-events.pdf

It was cool watching the competition online. Thanks for doing that! Do the competitors get a breakdown of their scores? E.g. how many points do they get for each drink etc? cheers, Geoff

unidonburi Said: Do the competitors get a breakdown of their scores? E.g. how many points do they get for each drink etc? Posted May 26, 2008 link Each of the 6 finalists gets to speak with the judges after the competition and they discuss how they did. The score sheets from the 6 judges will be mailed to each competitor (after the black out the judges names). This way they can review each area that they need to work on. As for the online viewing - you're very welcome. We were averaging 30 to 54 online viewers and combined with 40 to 60 people watching live means that we had the largest viewership to ever watch a Canadian barista competition !! Thank you to everyone who watched & participated - making this competition a huge success Cheers
