This is to reach the concerned people out there.
Actually the upcoming round scheduled this Saturday i.e. March 30, 2019 at 17.05 GMT (22.35 IST) will become quite hectic to participate in as the Codechef March 2019 Lunchtime will get over just 5 min before it. Please if possible, it should be rescheduled by atleast half an hour.
I don't know whom to tag so I wrote this on blog.
I donno why such posts get downvoted !!!
Because they imply one contest is superior to the other and neglect the difficulty in rescheduling and possible community backlash from new time.
Thanks for the support furious__
And zed_b, before downvoting such posts consider two things:
When you talk of superiority of one contest over the other, just tell me when did I promote the Codechef contest over the codeforces round?? I wanted to get the CF round rescheduled so that I and most of the people like me are able to participate in both of the contests which imply that both of the contests are equal and none of them is superior.
When you consider the difficulty in rescheduling and possible community backlash from new time, I clearly wrote if possible in the post. Moreover, the Codechef Lunchtime was scheduled much before the CF round(which was announced just a couple of days back). So, CF and also other judges, I think should avoid such clashes among contests.
I think I couldn't make it more clearer than this.
you can always go for virtual participation .
Oops codechef does not have that yet xD
aman_naughty virtual participation is not rated anyways, for your kind information.
It's a humble request to the community, please don't extend this conversation with such ideas of virtual participation.
I'm just trying to get the round shifted so that it's convenient for all of us to participate in both the contests. And everyone knows, rounds have been rescheduled many times before. Then also, there were the issues of community backlash etc.
Maybe superiority wasn’t the right word, but you ask CF to reschedule, not CC.
I clearly mentioned, CC has their rounds fixed as mentioned on their website and everyone can know their schedule even before they are actually announced. I've not seen any case in which they have rescheduled the contest(which rarely happens) and the contest was rated, atleast not since I've been coding.
Coming back to CF, the round 549 has been announced just a couple of days back. So, I think it's obvious, CF should reschedule it's contest.
And obviously superiority was not just wrong, but the most inappropriate word I guess.
P.S. This comment of yours now imply the superiority of CF over CC. :P
No, make the same comment on CC, and I'll answer why you think CF is better than CC :)
