Can't we add both categories as they very different categories altogether.Poll it be 2 weeks open & be close which results at end
100% I'm not sure this year all these nuances will be fixed but I couldn't agree more. The veg I buy from the farm has shit and dirt all over it, full of flavour & microbes.I would skip to judge look. Bag appeal is not important for smoking just for selling.
Is it true that you have to be vouched for by a former judge to become a judge at this year's ICmag cup?

Anyone doing edibles I don't think should judge other products on same day as edibles ( if potent and not 1 gummy) really have potency to them , more than a few dabs.
I can't see how people could even judge more than 2 edibles a day as the other edibles would need to completely pass before trying another 1.
But whatever the crows decides will work
So being a member of this forum for 8 years isn't enough. I don't see how anybody that contributed to the forum would be "random ppl"yeah it is as said to you and its not first year so it was at all no random ppl in this cup
It's for everyone's security, I'm sure you understand. When we get together face to face and everyone knows who is who it's different than online, no brainer really. It's a measure to keep everyone safe.So being a member of this forum for 8 years isn't enough. I don't see how anybody that contributed to the forum would be "random ppl"
why wouldn't any good standing member of this forum be able to judge at the icmag cup?
Appreciate the context Chevy.It's for everyone's security, I'm sure you understand. When we get together face to face and everyone knows who is who it's different than online, no brainer really. It's a measure to keep everyone safe.
In the past, if a forum member wanted to judge, they had to pass the smoke test with long standing members prior to even being told where the cup was going to be. Due diligence really...
I remember my first time with Gaius and I've never been higher in my life hahaha. Does that cheese haze still exist??
Maybe some of the mods or Gypsy can weigh in on what the process looks like nowawadays but no matter how I'm quite sure you'll have to do some extra leg and lungwork as a first timer ;-)

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this...Last year we had also non members judging..there will be some supporters judging this year also. there was even a after movie of the celebration.
Everyone with a big tinfoil hat should not go to a cup. Basic rule, no face no case.. Yeah, 10-15yrs ago it was mandatory to have a member vouching for you, but times changed. We had non members winning the grower category last year, so where we draw the line?
For the BHO, as said, last year we barely had 3 entries. I think like 4 people judged it..
To this date , we didn’t receive any registration for a BHO entry , but more than 5 asking if there will be a edible category.
We would assume that all who are entering know their job, and don’t even go judge for the effect. As everybody can agree, potency will be hard to judge. But presentation, taste, and personal preference are good criterias. Maybe no 1-10 scale, judges just pick their 3 favorites. It could be a testrun this year and see if it improves the cup.

Non members judging sounds very strange and defo less legitimate as it used to be ?Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this...
I recall clearly that up to 2016 you had to have someone vouch for you and get checked out upfront to get access. And I had NO idea this had changed, even though having been on the judge panel every single year there was a cup since then.
Not sure what you mean by the tin hat analogy and "no face no case" are you suggesting wer should put on ski masks? I'd assume better safe than sorry and you don't have to shame people who take security concerns seriously? What happened to the password access gate to this thread? Remember the majority of us are not living in Spain, but we travel there hauling, so that's far from a "tin hat" scenario.
Am I the only one who thinks these unannounced changes are a bit reckless? In this case, please discard my concerns, but if not, you need to have some answers for us.

I understand the Spanish live in a better climate for Cannabis legality these days but this isn't the Spanish cup , this is the Icmag.com cup where most members live in illegal environments or even legal environments 99% of Canna growers don't want to be known, seen and 99.9% don't want his/her pic/video taken.Last year we had also non members judging..there will be some supporters judging this year also. there was even a after movie of the celebration.

i doint getting too if rules existing you can followed or not but thing to can change it not the goal8 year member who post regularly should 100% be a judge over any non members or people who never post ?
Non members judging sounds very strange and defo less legitimate as it used to be ?
Also to be clear I don't want any photos or videos taken of me AT ALL at the Icmag 420 cup ( as always been a rule no pics or videos ?)
It's still illegal where we live and work and don't want to be known by people and like to stay underground , so let's make that a clear rule ( which it was at all the Icmag.com cups I've attended ? )
Tinfoil hat ?
You serious , what has happened to the 420 cup @Gypsy Nirvana ? , we don't want our pics taken or videos of us as most 99% of icmag.com members still work in illegal environments.
Surely this is still a rule ? or if not we need a clear understanding of the rules of the cup before we attend as our safety and photos/videos taken of us is a very security issue concern ?
So let's be clear as I can't understand your interpretation sometimesi d`oint thing he think different as us in this point
