Sorting Entries for a competition / Cellar Masters

I am the cellar master for the two competitions that the Beer Barons of Milwaukee Cooperative operate.  We are in the planning stages for our Midwinter comp held in February.  We have been discussing how to optimize our entry sorting, categorizing, flight sorting, etc among the organizing committee.  I would like know the processes other cellaring teams use when receiving, sorting and organizing entries.  The volume of entries is 800 for the Midwinter.

How do you all work your cellaring magic?
