We all suffered from the tragedy happened yesterday, from rated to unrated :( , And as far as i remember the last rated round was before 18 days at 30/3/2016.
We all love to see rated rounds, and let's be honest Codeforces the most attractive thing in Codeforces is rated rounds !!! and as I can see we have to wait for another 8 days to see a rated round, that's if " VK Cup 2016 — Round 2 " will be rated :\
Also i see that after three days there will be Educational Codeforces Round 12, how about making it rated??? i mean the problems must be ready by now, maybe it just need a little change to make it suitable to a rated round...
What do you think, Edvard and MikeMirzayanov, is there a chance to see this happen ???
Thanks in Advance...
The whole purpose of educational rounds was to use problems which you would not normally see in a rated contest(famous/easy/similar to others)...
What the guy said above.. I think the best solution to just speed up preparation of the next round, and have in it in 5-6 days. ( I'm pretty sure the CF team will do that if it's possible).
I think the difficulty of preparing rounds is their problemset . well it's kinda hard making a problem with new idea as they are lots of problems in different sites
I think it is impossible ( because in that way contest can't be "Educational" ) but Edvard can change this contest to Round #348 and cancel hacking phase.
exactly, thats what am talking about...
