I thought Codeforces Round 1121 (Div. 2)'s sudden change in starting time (Sep/13/2026 20:05 (Moscow time)) is already bad, since users in Asia countries (China, Vietnam, Japan, etc.) will have to stay up until 2 am, 3 am, maybe even 5 am to do the round, but why are the next few rounds also have, if not unusual, unreasonable starting time. Although it makes doing Codeforces rounds more accessible for Europeans/Americans, many of those that are familiar with the old starting time will be unable to do these rounds, especially students who need to clear their schedules and go to sleep (or do something similar) a bit later to do Codeforces rounds. I don't mean changes are bad, but I think sticking with the 14:35 UTC starting time will be more ideal than constantly changing starting times of the next few rounds.

As an American I really enjoy the later start times, doing the round at noon fees a lot better than doing it in the morning so they’re nice when contests are traditionally at 10:35 or really early for Asians
