Hi MikeMirzayanov,
I have a suggestion, wchich might be helpful. Wouldn't it be good, to add information next to the contest name in the schedule, whether it is rated or not? A good example is educational round: Educational Codeforces Round 51 (Rated for Div. 2).
This way you would avoid all the questions rated or not if such an information is not in the announcement. But even better — it would help some people plan their time. For example I see a few contests right now. One of them is 5 hours long. It is divided between div1 and div2 so it might be rated, but the duration is pretty unusual, so I'm not sure. Besides there is also the elimination round of the Technocup and I also do not know whether it is going to be rated or not.
I would like to take part in rated contests but I also have some other things to do and that information would help me organise my time.
Thanks!
Or add a special column, which says if the round is rated or not. And it will help if the round becomes unrated, people will easily know.
tecnocup eliminations will have rated mirrors for both divs
Bubble Cup 11 mirrors are unrated, just like for the previous two editions of the event.
There are two divisions because the onsite contest, unlike in the previous years, has two "divisions" itself.
Sometimes when the round becomes UNRATED,it might be something wrong with problems or the judgement that not be expected in the round. About the CUPS,the setter would write a blog which tells you if it is rated or not.So you can read the blog carefully to know about "is it rated" before you register.
(don't care about my poor English QAQ
info about round rated or not is always there in calender section
