It sounds like we won't be able to tell if other files have been accepted or even submitted for some batches, such as an official tournament batch. To make sure I understand this, will the situation be...

A) The public won't know when a specific file is being released (such as the round/division number), but they will know the file has been accepted as a potential tournament file.

or

B) The public won't know when a specific file is being released and if it's even been submitted/accepted at all for the tournament.

If the situation is B, how would someone make sure a file they are stepping for a future batch hasn't been accepted already if it's hidden in a tournament batch? Would we just message a judge and simply ask?
