no, refer this. Infact this scheme is not for indian participants.

From what I know(because of the previous edition), first long challenge’s rating will be calculated and then PLIT2020 rating will be calculated.

Excited for this ! Hope to remain 3* at least in this contest

@panik will there be penalty for wrong submission?

Yes there is penalty

The ratings are usually calculated based on increasing order of starting times of the contests. So the Long contest rating will be calculated before PLIT2019.

Though, I’m very curious to know how exactly this order affects anything practically. Do people have that clear an intuitive understanding of the rating system that they can figure out the difference between these two cases?! Because quite frankly, we don’t :stuck_out_tongue:

Suppose one participates in div2 long and is supposed to gain +100, but he participates in PLIT2019 before and his rating changes before long challenge ends and he comes to div1. In div1, the problems are tougher and it’s not that easy to get +100 in long. But based on div2 long, he may get a big jump in rating, even though he is already in div1. Hence calculating long ratings first may avoid this problem.

Hence the two cases are different (I guess?).

The division in which a user belongs to, in a particular contest, is based on the rating that the user had at the start of the contest. Any change in rating which happens in-between the contest doesn’t change the division of the user, for that contest.

So for rating calculation of both contest my current rating will be considered?
