I joined Educational Codeforces Round 103. It should be rated for me because I turned into Candidate Master from Master before the Educational Round (CF Round #698, Div. 1), but it seems rating changes for participants like me have not yet come!

Similar things also happened in Educational Codeforces Round 102, the last contest, and I was also a victim of strange rating changes. I gained some rating on Codeforces Round #695 (Div. 2) and became Master. Educational Round 102 should have been unrated for me, but I was rated and lost a little rating after that!

In both contests, some other participants were also confused about their being rated/unrated (like this or this), so it's not something that happened only to me. Joining an unrated contest supposing it's rated (or vice versa) is really, really exhausting. It's so unreasonable, unfair, and irrational!

So please MikeMirzayanov, please look into these and fix it. Thank you.

UPD: These were all fixed now. Though my rating before Educational Round 103 was recalculated as 2103, it remained rated for me, what a surprise. Huge thanks to Mike!

The ratings of last round(Round 698) were rolled back at the time of calculating the rating changes for Edu Round #103. At that time, your rating was above 2100, so it became unrated for you

    Yes, I understand how it became unrated for me, but does that really matter? I think all participants whose ratings are less than 2100 at the time the Educational Round starts should be rated.

Yes. I also believe there is a glitch at codeforces end. In my case, my expected delta after educational was +64 (from my rating 1950 after #698), but it calculated my delta as +34(from my rating 2030 before #698) due to roll back.
