How exactly does not communicating who goes to round two contribute to “fair and focused” voting? How are participants supposed to have trust in the process if none of the information is made available?
The way you are handling this feels very unprofessional. You’re basically keeping a whole bunch of projects that are ineligible for winning locked for no real reason, and also refusing to communicate who went to round two. People expected the voting period to be a month, since nowhere was it stated that voting period might be extended. The start of round two we also only find out through the words of a streamer.
I believe the absolute very least you can do is provide transparency into what everyone’s status is; that way they can decide for themselves to pull their project from the jam. Now you let everybody wait whether their submission will show up on a judge stream or not.
