Hello Codeforces!!
As a member of TheForces team, We create gym rounds, As you all know WA on test 1 has 20 minutes penalty for unofficial contests (but in official rounds WA on test 1 doesn't have any penalty), And I see many contestants getting WA on test 1 and 20 minutes penalty which sometimes leads to lose the first place only because of that useless penalty, I kindly ask MikeMirzayanov or other headquarters to remove this feature, Thanks in advance.
A lot of non-codeforces problems have just 1 test: in gym, there are many such problems. Implementing behavior like "if only 1 test, then use penalty for test 1" is difficult.
Thanks for your reply, Can you provide an option to enable/disable penalty on test 1 in the rounds sir?
MikeMirzayanov when will be the next contest?
Speaking of which, is there a way to change the amount of penalty per wrong submission or remove penalty entirely? I wrote some beginner contests and remembered looking for such an option, but couldn't find one.
Agree... I would have got Rank 5 in the recent TheForces Round but due to runtime error on test case 1 got Rank 7 :(
