Codeforces does not have not rated mode for participating in contests. If I'm feeling tired, should I participate in real contest, or I need to use an alt account or just participate virtually?

If you have an important competitive programming contest in your area/country coming that you want to get high place, then you should participate in as much contests as possible to get used to solving problems fast enough. Otherwise you should just virtual participate. Your mental health matters most man. |
