Would you mind elaborating a bit? I don’t really follow queued vs. non-queued.
In non-queued judging, the organizers will divide the list of beers from each category into flights ahead of time. The judge team will work its way through that list until all of them from their list are judged.
In queued judging, all of the judging teams sit close by each other. 1 steward will hand a beer to be judged to each one of the judge teams. As each team finishes the beer they are judging, they are handed another beer to judge. They continue to get new beers as they finish until the whole category is finished.
In queued judging, the faster teams will judge more beers, and the group as a whole will finish at the same time.
In non-queued judging, every team will judge the same number (give or take 1 due to rounding) of beers and the faster teams will finish before the slower teams.
Queued judging is much more time efficient, and the mini-bos can go off without waiting for the slow team to finish up. This frees all of the judges to move on to another flight after mini-bos, as opposed to waiting around to start it. This time can be substantial.
