Should the FFR Official Tournament Only Use New Files?

So yes, please keep the official tournaments as competitive as possible.

I already mentioned that this solution wouldn't do anything to help the problem, reducing songs of the week when there's only 29 in queue and likely only a few that actually fit what we need isn't going to make this work.

How exactly is it a roll of the dice for someone to have an advantage with only old files? There can still be an advantage with new files based on the skillset that it stresses. What if I end up with nothing but jumpstream files for like the whole tournament in a division? Yes that's almost happened in the past. It would be better to have the option to change up the different skillsets each round with the huge amount of files that are available.

This part struck a nerve, I'm not going to lie. I've busted my butt for how many official tournaments now? You have no idea the time that already goes into it. It's not about a budget of time when basically all the ffr judges had to move on to different things and there's been no one to judge the batches. I've offered to help out with it, but they still need more people. This isn't about prioritizing time. They're working on getting new judges in which is going to take time, then they need to catch up on everything that's backlogged, then finally we'd be able to try to get to special batches for the tournament.
