18th Official Tournament Bounty Batch

Hype!
We are once again asking for your best file submissions to potentially use in the upcoming Official Tournament. This will help the Official Tournament continue using new, high quality simfiles in every round.

This batch will run slightly differently than the OT17 Bounty Batch - please read the rules carefully!

Special Batch Rules
* Submission cap is the same as normal batches - 2 for every FFR community member, and 5 for FFR Simfile Authors

* There are two batches: the Bounty Batch Lobby and the Bounty Batch Courtroom.
***Stepartists can only submit charts to the Bounty Batch Lobby.***

* Submissions to the Bounty Batch Lobby will be reviewed for tournament viability and simfile requirements by Head Judges and/or the Official Tournament Planning Committee.
–Submissions that meet requirements for potential tournament use (see below) will be moved to the Bounty Batch Courtroom. Files moved to the Courtroom batch will be removed from adding to your submission cap in the Lobby batch. These files must still be judged as in any other batch.
–Submissions that do not meet requirements (see below) will be rejected. Rejected files count toward your submission cap.


File Requirements
* FFR's basic submission rules and standard permission requirements apply.

* The song's content can't be overly explicit. Keep it PG-13 for tournament files

* Ideal tournament files have some or all of the following properties:
-Between 1:30 and ~3:30 long
-Balanced difficulty curve - no one section has the majority of the file’s difficulty
-Good amount of pattern/skillset variety. Isn’t predominately a eg. “jack file” or “jumpstream file”
-Use good music to make a score grind more bearable!
-Use a song new to FFR (not a v2)

* The simfile’s difficulty level must be one that we need.

Check back frequently, and before you submit your file! This list will be updated as tournament planning continues. The batch will remain open as long as there is still a bounty to be claimed.

Prizes
* For each file a stepartist gets accepted (approved to the Courtroom and Accepted) from this batch, they will earn an event token credit, to a maximum of 3.
* Stepartists who get a file accepted (approved to the Courtroom and Accepted) from this batch will additionally earn an OT18 Bounty Batch Submitter profile badge!
* Stepartists who get 3 or more files accepted (approved to the Courtroom and Accepted) from this batch will additionally earn an OT18 Bounty Batch Super Submitter profile badge!
Prizes will be handed out after the Official Tournament

Now I just need to find the time to spend hours trying to find songs we have permissions for that I could actually step into the desired range.

Slight update.
Files approved to the Courtroom batch will now only receive notes from 1 judge, instead of our usual 2.
This is being done just to make judgements faster. OT is getting a lot closer!!

The bounty list has had it's (most likely) last major update until the tournament starts.

Thank you for all your submissions so far!
The batch will remain open during the OT until the planning committee is confident that we have every chart we need for a successful tournament.

The OT18 Bounty Batch has officially closed.

Thank you for your submissions. Once again the FFR community has helped to ensure the tournament is a success with solid choices for every bracket and every round.

Prizes will be handed out after the tournament is finished.
