FFR Simfile Judge Applications are OPEN.
e-mail applications to ffrsubmissions@gmail.com with the subject "{username} Judge Application", e.g. Silvuh Judge Application
Please send any new information (any updates to Part A or notes for Part B) as a reply to your first e-mail, so your whole application will be threaded together.
If you think you have what it takes and the time to actually help out, please fill out this first part of the judge application and e-mail it to ffrsubmissions@gmail.com. Please do not post completed applications in this thread. The thread is for discussion of the process and your hopes and concerns for it. Stuff like that.
Part A is a questionnaire. Worthy applicants will move on to Part B, which will be reviewing test files.
Test files are not ready yet, so they will be sent out starting April 15. Full-length critiques of the test files should be e-mailed within five days of receiving them.
DO NOT send the test files to anyone. DO NOT discuss them with anyone outside of the application process.
Applications may take a week or so for game managers to go through. Applicants will be PMed as soon as decisions have been made.
Applications may close at any time if we feel like we have enough members, and they will reopen when we are in need of more help.
--- Part A ---
1. Do you have experience reviewing simfiles? If so, please give at least two examples of a reviews you've written with a link to the original file.
2. Do you have experience creating simfiles? If so, please list your three best files with download links (if not on FFR) and name anywhere any of your files can be found.
3. Describe how well you can interpret and judge files at different difficulty ranges (please cover the whole 1-99 scale).
4. What is your availability like throughout the year? For example, do you have more free time in some months than others? Does judging either 20, 40, or 60 files every two months seem like something you can do?
5. What is your work ethic like? For example, do you work better doing a little bit every day? or by doing infrequent but intense work sessions?
6. Of the following, which would be the best channel to get your attention through? Would you respond right away through it?
(Note that FFR staff are required to join Slack)
-- FFR User Control Panel (PMs, subscribed threads)
-- E-mail (the address you sent in this application with)
-- Instant Messengers (name which IM service you would be using)
7. If there is any more relevant information you can share that was not prompted by one of the previous questions, please put it here.

EDITS
April 1, 22:36 >> Changed the wording of Question 3 to clarify that it is about judging files, not difficulty placement.
April 2, 19:16 >> Changed the wording of Question 4 from "70" to "20, 40, or 60", because, really, a judge doesn't usually look at every file in a batch, only one set (about 20) at a time.
