Codeforces scoring system is unfair
By Dr.Mahareeq, history, 16 months ago, In English

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well

In today's contest , I solved problem C within one hour and got 827 points for that . At the end of the contest and exactly after 2 hours and 57 minutes, I thought that my solution for problem C may get TLE in main tests , so I submitted another improved solution and got AC for the pretests . But the problem is that I got 478 points on the problem and the 827 points had gone. And now after the system testing I got my first solution Skipped eventhough it got Accepted when I resubmitted it after the testing. I believe that this thing is unfair and I hope Codeforces try to solve this problem for us.

Thanks for your attention Good Luck

cry about it, your choice to resubmit, learn to calculate time complexity

The fact that you resubmitted proves you weren't sure about your solution in the first place, its entirely fair and reasonable tbh.

    it is correct that I wasn't sure, but it is unfair that the solution is correct and codeforces just ignores it.

Sorry all, I knew my fault. I didn’t notice that this was written in contest rules. Sorry again and thanks for the downvotes that people just throw randomly.
