This schedule is for Round One, Day One at the 2013 Big Central Regional Barista Competition, which includes entries from the North Central region (ND, SD, NE, MN, IA, WI, IL, IN, MI) and the South Central region (KS, MO, OK, TX, AR, LA, MS). Competitors from both fields compete throughout the weekend in non-overlapping routines, so from performer to performer you will see both regions. A top 6 will be awarded for each region in two distinct groups.
Sprudge coverage from BCRBC is made possible by Kaldi’s Coffee, PT’s Coffee, and Nuova Simonelli.
Round One, Day One – January 18th 2013, 26 Competitors beginning at 10am CST. WATCH LIVESTREAM HERE.
