Petition to reschedule CF Global Round 18
By kpw29, history, 3 years ago, In English

Codeforces Global Round 18 is currently scheduled at 18:35 MSK time on Friday, December 24. This is a day of Christmas, and it's not even on the weekend. Every year, billions of people celebrate Christmas with their families, and I believe many coders would prefer to enjoy GR 18 on a different date.

Therefore, let me suggest rescheduling of the round to some other day. If many people agree and there is no official parallel round of some contest, maybe MikeMirzayanov can consider moving it to a different day?

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

No one has to play every Codeforces contest. Just skip it if you don't want to play that day.

    You are not wrong but:

    • This is a Global Round, which is often considered the one with highest quality problems.
    • According to the current Global Rounds ranking, anyone (including you) can still theoretically get into top 20 for the prizes.

    I believe those are fair points to consider a reschedule if possible.
