We have our first few accepted files from the Bounty Batch! The three associated bounties (mid 20s, low 40s, and low 70s) have been removed. As a reminder, when a bounty is removed,
any file already submitted for that bounty will still be judged, but no new submissions for that bounty will be accepted. What this means right now is that
any new submissions for the mid-20s range will be rejected for not fitting any bounty, but since bounties still remain for low 40s and low 70s, files may still be sent in for those ranges. There are no other mid 20s files awaiting judgment or approval, but if there were any, they would still be looked at.
Additionally, to clarify some details & frequently asked questions:
- In addition to the three Accepted files, two more have been judged and received and FR status.
Bounties will not be cleared until a file receives the Accepted rating, so these two bounties (110ish and another low 70s) are still active until FR fixes are made and approved.
- Acceptance in the Bounty Batch does not guarantee use in the Official Tournament. This may come up if, for instance, more submissions for a particular bounty are accepted than we have room for (due to the policy in the first paragraph of this post!), or if particularly good files for the OT are accepted from other batches.
- The Bounty Batch will be open until all bounties have been claimed, or until the end of the 17th Official Tournament, whichever is earlier.
- Event tokens and profile badges will be distributed after the batch has concluded.
Thanks all for your wonderful submissions! Keep them coming
