    I have to say this is overall the most bizarre competition description I've seen. The line I quoted however sounds like they do expect you to declare a specific style. And the later reference to "LOT 1 - Light Ale" etc. sounds like judging flights, not the entry categories. All in all though, I'd say the organizers really don't know what the hell they are doing, or at least don't know how to communicate it.
