Just like how codeforces provides no standings for new Div 3 participants, Can codechef really do more or like the same for new comers?
Because the new comers who perform really well (solve’s >= 6 or 7 problems) are the Div1 participants (who are >= 5stars)
(OR) the one’s who did codeforces/spoj and using the codechef for the first time and more LIKELY they will continue.
- Can they be awarded with only ratings (and) remove them completely from standings for minimum 2 contests such that the actual/real participants will have proper standings table.
Example : October long challenge Div2 scenario

You can read it here : Example Div 3 post : Codeforces Round #590 (Div. 3) - Codeforces
As stated in the blog
" Remember that only the trusted participants of the third division will be included in the official standings table. As it is written by link, this is a compulsory measure for combating unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participants of the third division , you must:
- take part in at least two rated rounds (and solve at least one problem in each of them),
- do not have a point of 1900 or higher in the rating."

Yup, I know. Most of the chinese grandmasters/masters of Codeforces,etc. come for the first time in Div-2-Long. And top-50 spots are always filled with them.
The irony:-They never come to Codechef again.
Everytime its some completely new account.
