Ooga-Booga Special Batch

A new special batch has been released, titled the "Ooga-Booga Special Batch".

Have you found that files take an exceptionally long amount of time to judge and go in-game? Notes aren't really your thing? This batch might be for you.

It's a batch that has been talked about for a bit, to try a new expedited form of judging that involves little to no notes. The pro of this batch is that files involved in this batch will/can be judged immediately & quickly after the batch ends, as well as by more than two judges per file due to the relatively low workload it demands. Ultimately, files in this batch are processed much faster than the current batches. The con is, well, you will only get a yes/no/small single-line reasons as to a file's accept/reject/CQ, and can make it much more difficult for those whom are looking for line-by-line analysis of how to improve the quality of their file. Notes/suggestions on improving the file will be kept to a minimum, and shared only when necessary, such as a 'Fixes Recommended' flag (previously Conditional Queue).

Since this is a test more-so of handling file judging in this manner, it is listed as a Special Batch that anyone can contribute to, alongside the normal March/April 2022 batch that is coming out today as well that will close at the end of April. If it's well received, might do more of this sort of judging in the future in similar Special Batches.

You can find and submit to this special batch, the new March/April 2022 batch, and the currently open Official Tournament batches here: https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...mission/batch/

Another notice of this batch (as well as the standard March/April 2022 batch) will go out during this weekly update, but wanted to make a thread about it before-hand that can help clean up fine details/intricacies of this special batch that might not be immediately notable, as well as notify those that might not be aware of it prior to the Front Page Post.
