    I believe you need to participate in Round 3 to get t-shirt

      I believe that participating in round 3 will not be that hard. :)

      Oh no, maybe it will be hard for me (if I qualified), because round 3 will be just 1 day before my wedding. :)

          Well, marriage in Egypt is done in 2 phases. The one before TCO round 3 is the real wedding.
          Thanks!

      participate = open at least one problem.

      If rating is not the main thing for you, then it's easy)

        And what about such a curious but possible case: let's suppose somebody opens only some other's code during Challenge Phase - is it counted as a participation?

          Behavior is counted as participation if round became rated for you

            Thank you Cap :) It is not an answer to the question. BTW, nice performing, I'm watching you :)

          Yes, intersting)))

          I know only this: "If you did not open any problem during the coding phase, you will not have your rating adjusted."

          But I can not find anything about this curious case...

          Anybody knows?

      That's how I missed a t-shirt last year :) I qualified for the round 3 and couldn't participate. I didn't ask someone to open some task for me because I didn't beleive the rules are so weird that just registering and opening a task (not solving tasks or something) is required to get a t-shirt.

        But if you ask somebody else to do something using your account, doesn't it violate the rules? (I amn't sure.)

          I think it does. But hush, don't tell anyone I thought of violating the Rules :)
