Can anyone provide a solution to resolve the 403 error? I'm using my college WIFI, although website works fine on mobile data(Codeforces).

    Same here. There was no announcement as well. The round should be made unrated for the contestants who faced such an issue and got a negative delta.

      The announcement says you will be given a choice to be unrated if your verdict changes.

        IceKnight1093 could you please look into this? The round still shows rated for me and I have not yet recieved a choice to become unrated as well. CodeChef handle: pradyumn1908

    Same here. I guess the checker suffers overflow because I brute force all pairs from high to low.
