This doesn't work for me.

It says "Only Div.2 users can register on this round."

But as it's just a virtual participation, there shouldn't be any restrictions on participant's rating.

Please help me. I want to be able to participate in SRM 724.

I got this error when trying to launch topcoder arena.

I'm running it on Achlinux using icedtea-web

When I try to use the Codeforces API it sends this message:

503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

When will it be up and running again?

My city is called "Urmia" and it's not called "Orūmīyeh". (some people mistakingly write it as Orūmīyeh but it's not the right way to write it.)

But i see that its name has been changed from "Urmia" to "Orūmīyeh" in codeforces.

For the proof this is a wikipedia article about the city "Urima".

Hi.
I'm interested in having blitz contests. Which has 1 hour time and this score distribution: 500-500-500-500-500.
Is there any other one interested in such contests?

Is there any other high quality contests like CF and TC?

which academic discipline corresponds to what we do at programming contests?
