The only reason I'm posting in this beaten-to-death-horse is because I feel like, despite the (hopeful) difference of how they go about trying to make their point and how I will, I agree with Krunky and Middie (holyshit). I COMPLETELY understand that Jae leaving left Kayla with a less than optimal time-frame, and I think she's done a good job with the tourney, certainly moreso than the last official. That being said, there was still time to prepare for the possibility of a tiebreaker in D6. The file wouldn't have gotten the exact same treatment as per usual, but I think it would still be better to have more people look at it and have the process be closer to the actual submission process. Yes, I know that files have bypassed the normal judging process "when needed." And, differing from Middie and Krunky here, I understand that this is sometimes necessary. HOWEVER, I still think that this could have been avoided in a more proper manner. As for "all of the judges being capable of making a file suitable for FFR," I agree, HOWEVER, I'm not sure we want the judges making files in such small time-constraints.
