I agree that the queue situation was not perfect, but I decided to solve other problems while waiting for my submissions to get judged, and it went reasonably smooth. I could’ve lost a couple of minutes in the terms of penalty time, but so did other participants, so I feel like it was more-or-less adequate.

Yes, please decide by voting. Very few people making noise everywhere are overshadowing majority who want it to be rated.
Voting is the only fair way to resolve the situation. Queue was same for everyone. And let the ratings reflect that.

It should be rated, these issues were minor today and submissions till the end were being made and the server wasn’t down for more than 2-3 mins at a time. If you keep making all contests unrated, it is highly demotivating and the word “competitive” loses its meaning.

@admin in cookoff when I saw server error not solved till 10:30 i shut down my pc when I know that now being declared as rated then I came back , now my rating dropped, to coverup that I put my best today but being undeclared so unfair. make lunchtime rated or cookoff unrated.

It has clearly been the same for everyone during the contest, which allowed some people to think creatively and work on other problems while waiting for submissions. There was no warning that it would be unrated so it’s disappointing to spend 3 hours working hard in a competition and then all your hard work go to waste. Hopefully, the admins can reconsider.

I don’t think unrating a contest makes the experience better for anyone. It just makes the overall contest fair, because if there is a good enough ratio of contestants who suffered, or even a majority who could not see their verdicts for so long, it just does not make sense for the contest to be rated.
Because the queue issues started at 11:15pm, and piled on to the very end of the contest. When the contest ended, the submissions from 11:30 hadn’t been judged for quite a few problems/users - thus we had to make it unrated at the very end, sorry :((
The detailed description of the decision is here for anyone interested.

@ashishgup why don’t you hire better engineers for the website? In your last intern hiring, i did the development round as well. The website i made was extremely stable using many backend techniques to reduce server load and everything.
I don’t know why your hiring people rejected me , and i respect their opinion but they are not doing good at the moment right? As someone, who created a local OJ for a project. I was much experienced at these things and would have found or maybe help find some way to resolve these things.
But anyways, hope to see codechef back in the OJ game again.
If not, maybe in coming years, i would start an OJ of my own, maybe a little less fancy…but more stable
