A Request to Mike Mirzayanov-We Need More Contests on Codeforces!

Revision en1, by BUGS_SABKE_NIKLENGE, 2025-03-16 13:29:35

Hey everyone,

I think most of us would agree—10 contests a month on Codeforces just isn’t enough. Competitive programming is all about consistency, and having more contests would give us more opportunities to improve, test our skills, and stay engaged with the platform.

Right now, if someone misses a couple of contests due to exams or other commitments, they have to wait days for the next one. This slows down improvement and makes it harder to stay in the rhythm of regular contests.

Wouldn’t it be great if we had more Div. 2 and Div. 3 rounds, maybe even some short-format rated contests? It could help keep the community more active and allow everyone to compete more frequently.

Of course, I know setting up contests isn’t easy, and I really appreciate the work Mike and the problem setters do. But if there’s a way to slightly increase the contest frequency, I think it would benefit the entire community.

What do you all think? Would you like to see more contests on Codeforces? Let’s discuss!
