introducing 💪tablestrength

While most homebrew competition software is built for organizers, tablestrength is built for everyone at the table — including entrants and judges. It was born out of Garrick van Buren’s frustrations organizing Déjà Brü with tools managing a single part, but didn’t connect to the bigger picture.

For Competition Organizers:

• Run a fully paperless competition
• No-click QR-code entry check-in
• End-to-end competition planner
• 1-click judging table generator assigns sessions, entries, and judges
• 1-click email notifications to entrants, judges, and stewards
• Select just the styles you want to use: BJCP beer, mead, cider, historic, specialty or any combination you’d like.
• Printable table tents
• Reuse last year’s competition info when creating this year’s competition
• No IT setup — fully hosted, zero server management

For Entrants:

• 1-account (profile, credentials) for every competition hosted on tablestrength
• Entry Performance Tracker — track how the same beer scored across multiple competitions
• Reuse previous entry info when entering another competition
• Email notifications when: registration open, shipping deadlines near, entries are received, your scoresheets are ready
• Calendar invites for competition entry windows
• Share your shipping tracking number with organizers — no follow-up emails needed”
