Plinth’20 has a rated contest on CodeChef waiting just for you!
The contest shall be a great opportunity for students to test their programming aptitude. This national-level programming contest shall assess the intelligence of participants through various rounds. It is an Online Qualifier Round for the Onsite Round to be held during Plinth’20.
There will be 2 rounds to decide the winner:
First Round: Online Qualifier for onsite will be held on 9th January 2020 on Codechef which is a rated round(Div1+Div2).
Second Round: Onsite round will be held at The LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur on 18th January 2020. Top 100 individuals(subject to filling of seats) will be called for the onsite round.
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
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.
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.
