Use when writing an OOPSLA author response inside the short per-round window — reading reviews through the four-outcome lens (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject), steering borderline papers toward a revision outcome instead of rejection, and committing only to changes deliverable within the round's revision mechanics.

# OOPSLA Author Response

Each OOPSLA round gives authors one written response before decisions are
finalized; the 2026 call scheduled it as a four-day Tuesday-to-Friday window
per round (exact 2026 dates 待核实 — read them off the live HotCRP instance).
What makes the OOPSLA response unlike a classic rebuttal is the decision
space: reviewers are not only choosing accept-or-reject, they are choosing
among **Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, and Reject** (2026 merged the
old Conditional Accept into Minor Revision). Your response is an argument
about *which bucket the paper's problems belong in*.

## Reframe every objection as a bucket question
