Use of unregister button
By mr_swashbuckler, history, 5 years ago, In English

I know this may sound silly but what is the use of above feature if clearly our ratings won't get affected if we didn't submit any solution during the contest?

Imagine you have just registered to some round. You see there are 70 or 421 registrants. What do you do?

There's a tiny reason. Registrants are split into rooms. It's bad for you if a lot of participants from your room are absent — if they unregistered instead, you would get other people and you can try to hack them, or realize that your solution is wrong thanks to getting hacked.

    but how could someone understand that participants in his located room are absent before contest start ?

      There is no way for that. I said that if other people register but not participate, they slightly hurt others in the same room.

Is codeforces behaving weirdly again? Because I couldn't see some of the comments written in this blog. (There must be a total of 7 comments in total(including this comment)). MikeMirzayanov sir please look into this.

So that people don't think that you're a rating farmer who skedaddles after seeing a hard Div1A.
