Next codeforces round ending very late!
By nocriz, history, 3 years ago, In English

The next codeforces round will end on 02:35 UTC+8, which is quite late for people in east asia.

I searched in contests for the last contest which is ending late, and it was VK Cup 2019-2020 — Elimination Round or Codeforces Round #623 , which was 16 months ago. That contest started 00:35 UTC+8 and ends 02:35 UTC+8.

Yeah — just pointing out some fact, I might still participate in the contest.

The next codeforces round will start on 08:35 UTC-7, which is less early than usual for people in the west coast of America.

I searched in contests for the last contest which is starting late, and it was VK Cup 2019-2020 — Elimination Round or Codeforces Round #623, which was 16 months ago. That contest started 09:05 UTC-7 and ends 11:05 UTC-7.

    And what you posted was not even correct. The last contest which is starting late is Codeforces Round #675 (Div. 2) which was 8 months ago.

      I know, but I restricted myself to rounds including Div. 1

Not sure we're talking about the same contest but isn't it the same time it has always been, though?

    He's talking about Codeforces Round (Div. 1 + Div. 2).

      It only starts an hour later than usual. I don't really understand the concern lol.

        It's easy to see that the round is shifted by one hour and and the contest length is increased by one hour resulting in two hour later end compared to the normal div 1 rounds.

Just an thought experiment, if I post what Ari posts in the first place, what will happen? My guess is that someone will post what I posts, and I will still be downvoted. Is the entire point being that discussing times of rounds is forbidden?
