Soon The 2016 Topcoder Open Algorithm competition will kick off with qualification round 1A.

The top 750 contestants from this round will advance directly to round 2, while other contestants can have another shot at round 1B and round 1C.

As per topcoder tradition, the top 250 active members who have the highest algorithm rating received an automatic berth into round 2.

You can check your handle in the list of the automatic berth here!.

For the last two years, specifically around this time of year, codeforces hold several training contests at the gym as a warm-up for teams participating in different regionals.

But this year there is no sign of the training season.

It was a good chance to practice with a lot of teams.

Is it delayed this year for some reason or it got discarded?

During the past day, I tried to send codeforces messages but it redirects me to the "Codeforces is temporary unavailable" page and the message is not sent.

I have tried several times and it didn't work.

Is it a public issue?
