To be a judge, one should understand how fun files are made. There is such a thing as an objectively good file and I don't think it should come at the cost of letting lesser quality files in game.

So you think that the people that JX and bmah chose would think that a 2 minute dumpstream file is the pinnacle of simfile making then. Seems like assumptions to me. Also the judgements are done as a team for a reason, if someone who's still new to judging has a rating that's off from the other judges, the other 3 or whatever would outweigh it anyway. Plus none the less we're talking about backups here and yet you guys keep going on about not trusting them as main judges. AlexDest and Dossar were backups for this batch and I'm fairly certain they've both judged as primary before, so what exactly was the issue with passing on to them?

Edit: MarioNintendo also offered to do more than just be supportive if needed, I'm pretty sure he knows how to make a decent file. As well as Jimerax saying he could do about 50% of a group if needed.

Edit 2: I don't really know why I'm bothering with this because it's just going to turn into the same thing it always has. The main point is these are people that our game managers chose to judge and backups are there to ensure things get done on time when a primary can't do it. What's the point of having this system if no one's going to use it?
