On the real versus plastic glassware topic...

I've judged at several comps where there was
actual glassware being used.  The problem for a
comp organiser is that you pretty much have to
devote one person full time to washing and
(as Jeff McNally pointed out) properly drying 
the glasses.  And that person has to work hard.
For a big comp, you'll need multiple people
just for that duty.

Only 5 or 6 judging tables can crank out 90 to 100
dirty glasses an hour, so that gives under 40 seconds 
apiece for washing AND drying  AND stacking.  Sounds
like no problem, but if the glass washer takes a pee
break, it really stacks up fast.  

Don't forget time spent delivering the glasses to 
the tables if your washing area is far from the 
judging tables.  And make sure to have PLENTY of
bar towels to dry those glasses because if you 
only have a few, they'll be sopping wet before
the first hour is up.

Another note:  If some of your judges live on well
water, and you rinse glasses with chlorinated tap
water and don't dry them, the chlorine in rinsed
but not dried glasses can be apparent to these judges.
