I somehow lost rating through the last CodeChef contest (171) but my rating is (was) 2308, and now its 2273 after the contest, but the contest was rated for <= 5* participants.

I sent an email to support last week but I haven’t gotten a reply yet, so hopefully some admin sees this through this blog.

wxssim Yes… We’re sorry for the inconvenience; the issue has been fixed now.
