Will the contest time be shifted to 02:35 UTC+8 from next month?

That is possibly not a friendly time for Asians. Is that a permanent shift?

I hope it's just temporary.

There was a div1+div2 round on 2022.5.26 01:35 UTC+8, and a div2 round on 2022.6.11 00:35 UTC+8. However, there was no contests in 02:00-06:00 UTC+8 for last 2 years.

    So, there are both challenges and chances. It may be easier to gain a rating when there are fewer Asian people. Many Asian people are so good at math, especially combinatorics, but unfortunately, I am not one of them.

    I think there is something wrong with CF: Weird time, and Weird rating update. Still no rating update for the last two contests.
