I guess Codeforces is trying to make contests suitable for school students specifically just like Codechef does in Lunchtime. I maybe wrong.

It's suitable for Vietnamese and SE-Asian people because it's about 4p.m in VietNam. Otherwise, guess what, It's 11.30 p.m in Vietnam and the contests always end at about 1.30 or 2 a.m . It's too late

Bur i think it's better that the time of contest be usual because more people can participent in it. What do you think about it?

According to this comment the unusual time of the next round is because that it is held in parallel with onsite competition.

In general I think that making some contests in unusual time is better than holding all contests in the same time because this gives a chance for more people who find the usual time not suitable.

I think 19:30 MSK is a convenient time for most countries, don't change it frequently. In past contests, some problem setters changed the time for their own country --> very bad behavior.
