I made a KML file last year of all the upcoming Beer competitions listed on the BJCP website: http://www.bjcp.org/apps/comp_schedule/competition_schedule.php
So then maybe I could figure out a way to optimally travel to as many of them as possible, and to save gasoline (when I "retire" I might buy somekind of camping RV and drive around the country judging beer and camping and hiking).
The problem is I don't know any mathmatics, or enough, to do it. :-(
(Its kind of like a travaling salesman problem, I guess, except the location include "time" a factor, and some beer judging events are better than others: county fairs aren't as "interesting" to judge as State fairs or Nationals, etc. So you might want to go 100 miles out of your way for a state fair, but you might not for a county fair)
