Could we have a reply on whether it's rated please, Mike & 74TrAkToR?

'Good Bye 2023' is a controversial contest. Many want it to be unrated, while others want to keep it rated. Regardless of whether to cancel its rating, could you please explain your reasons? This may make everyone more convinced of your decision. Thank you! :)

• 3 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +55 Last H1 & H2 were worse than stolen. It was in so many textbook excercises that sane coordinator would not dare to put it in any contest in the first place. Each issues in G and H individually were serious enough to unrate any round IMO.

  • 3 days ago, # ^ | understood your point

• 2 days ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +28 Not all questions have answers. We had a lot of problems with this round. Including the injury that I received before the round, and which will probably bother me for many years. I am ready to answer the question about changes. To begin with, I would like to prepare my div2 round so that you can be convinced of the quality of the tasks. In the future, we will take an even more detailed approach to preparing rounds.

  • 2 days ago, # ^ | did mike reprimanded you?

  • 2 days ago, # ^ | thanks for a response, i think it is pretty clear that the goodbye round happened because it had to happen. In such cases, i would ask the round to prepared much in advance, so that this doesn't happen, and if there are some issues discovered close to the round, its better to cancel and postpone it. Not having a round is better than a rushed one.

    • 2 hours ago, # ^ | Don't spread disinformation. You could at least check where linked person lives. Even though I am one of the many people dissatisfied with the quality of the last round it is not the reason to spread bullshit in anger.

    • 2 hours ago, # ^ | His rating is still good enough for him to be a really good coder (in the competitive programmning sense) so its justifable for someone to monetise on his skills. (I agree the round shouldnt have happened tho.)

    • 84 minutes ago, # ^ | Even if that is the same person, so what? If he's proven to give his students tasks in advance, that is terrible, but otherwise there's nothing wrong in billing your classes. Conflict of interests may unfortunately exist, but in a small community like this one it's pretty hard to find someone who can both teach competitive programming and never participates in making or coordinating contests.
