With many recent incidents of background related disqualifications (and drama) the idea of forming a group dedicated to formulate and regulate the proper use of Backgrounds for the ranked section should be considered.
Akin to the community members dedicated to provide help in figuring out metadata we should establish a group dedicated to solve background related problems.
Backgrounds are an integral part to the appeal of a map ranked and unranked. The right background can change one's perception of a map when going through the ranked catalogue deciding which map to play next while also allowing the mapper to express themselves in a more abstract way through a clever choice or creation of a background.
As an early draft the members should decide on which criteria are relevant for the choice of a background while also raise and uphold standards of what an acceptable BG.
They should also help assure the optimal quality of the backgrounds making the game more appealing to look at while also help provide sources to the artist who drew the background.
It's a very simple concept really and as someone who takes backgrounds seriously i am willing to invest my time into turning this into reality
note: open to other naming suggestions as BAT has already been taken in the past and can lead to obvious confusion.
