Suggestion
By MinValgen, history, 6 hours ago, In English

Hi Mike,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share a little challenge I faced during today's contest on Codeforces. Because of Ramadan, I usually have trouble joining at the regular time since it clashes with Iftar. Today, I stayed up waiting to join, but unfortunately, I found out later that the round had been postponed.

I was wondering if it might be possible to start the contests one hour earlier during Ramadan. I think this small change could make a big difference for many of us who are fasting, without causing too much disruption.

Thanks a lot for considering this suggestion.

Is this about round 1010? What was the earlier time?

    It is not completely about this round, whatever it was at 7:35 AM.

Hi MinValgen , I agree with you ; starting contests an hour earlier in Ramadan would be helpful. Hope it's considered!

Ramadan Kareem.

I can't join any Div because it's only available one hour before Iftar. I think all Egyptians and nearby countries have this problem too.
