Small suggestion, would it be possible to indicate every contest's "rated" status in the title somehow, e.g.:
- VK Cup 2016 — Round 2 (RATED)
- VK Cup 2016 — Round 2 (UNRATED)
- VK Cup 2016 — Round 2 (++)
- VK Cup 2016 — Round 2 (NR)
Anything at all, it doesn't matter. As programmers I'm sure we'll get used to any notation.
Secondly or alternately, could we add a column to the Contests table, like this? I imagine "rated" is stored in the database already.
(The smileys are just a joke, folks, calm down!).
This is a great idea. Also, maybe an icon or something to indicate if it is open, or a invite-only. And if it is not too convoluted, country flags to show languages it will be available in.
I don't like this idea because I personally don't need it.
Too much info on the contest list may confuse newcomers. I don't remember even one contest where I needed that info in the contest list (there are announcements anyway). Also, some time before the contest organizers may not know whether it will be rated or not.
