IMPORTANT NOTICE As result of the Society's Style Examination Committee report and subsequent deliberations by the judging community, the Society's C&J Handbook was revised and re-issued in 2001. Not all of that handbook is applicable to BABS but those sections that relate to the scoring categories have been adopted by BABS and incorporated, word for word, in our own Judging Reference Manual. This new manual became active in the BABS contest round starting with Prelims 2002. You can browse the Judging Reference Manual below or you can download a complete copy, or sections of it, by clicking on the Downloads button.   Introduction to the BABS Judging Reference Book   Contents iii Definition of the Barbershop Style 8 Introduction to the Judging System 11 Music Category Description 20 Presentation Category Description 28 Singing Category Description 41 Position papers 45 Reports on category overlap 54 Glossary   Official judging forms   Downloads
