What about the certificates, how and when will I receive them?
As I understand, everyone who participates gets a certificate, irrespective of their performance in the contest, right?

It is up to us, whether to organise in Codechef or Hackerrank. If we are interested, we may host, in future. When it comes to choosing a platform, we judge several factors. For example, In Codechef, it takes almost a month to get things ready and host a contest. But Hackerrank is better coz we can organise a contest with in no time. Also, the Verdict Judgement is quick in Hackerrank whereas it takes about 15 seconds or more in Codechef. If you are really interested, platform doesn’t matter. Just create an account in respective platform and participate. :slight_smile:

The type of leaderboard used is Default Hackerrank Leaderboard.

The Tie Breaker used is Sum.

  • Sum: Tie is broken by the sum of time of first correct submission for all the problems.
  • Time used for Tie Breaking is Start of the Contest. It means participants who log in in the mid of contest will not have any additional advantage.
