With the high traffic that we have been getting recently, we have been facing issues with our infrastructure, and the participants have not had a seamless contest experience. Keeping this in mind, we are postponing all rated short contests, till a time when we are sure that the contests can be held smoothly, and we've had a smooth testing round. In particular, the Starters contest scheduled for 31st January is being postponed till further announcements. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Note: The January Lunchtime remains rated. And the February Long Challenge will take place as usual.
The contest will be for 3 hours and have 6 problems to solve. It is rated only for the participants of division 3 with their present rating less than 1600. Others can participate unofficially.
