There are few teams that are not first from their college from any regional. They know they are not Qualified.
There are few teams that are first from their college for Kolkatta-Kanpur and Amritapuri with a rank that is " not too bad". They know they will be definitely Qualifed.
There are few teams who performed very well ( with rank < 500 ) and are top from their college for Chennai / Gwalior . They know they will be Qualifed.
The Above ones have nothing to Worry and nothing to be stressed or be suspensed about.
**Then there are teams( including mine) which are first from their college for Chennai / Gwalior but have performed neither very well nor bad and are quite clueless, confused , stressed, worried , suspensed ! These teams are greatly affected by this long delay and above that no official announcement giving clue about when to expect! I don’t know how others falling in this category might be feeling. **

This extension of dates seems like an infinite loop! Why codechef is so reluctant to announce the date?

This seems like a never ending story. According to Amritapuri Site, the results had to be declared on 10th November. That date passed and Gwalior site said that results are expected on 14th or 15th . That too passed and the Kolkata site said that results will be declared at 6 PM on 16th. Now it says that results will be declared by 6 PM on 17th. I don’t think I could even believe that. There were too many issues with the contest. When you set problems having formula based O(1) solutions, it just becomes a hell lot easier to cheat.I mean, once the formula is figured out, it could be shared very easily on the internet. It would have been wise to set these problems for the onsite contest. Codechef should have made the rank-list visible by now. It’s been more that 10 days after the contest and still we are kept in suspense, clueless about when are the results coming out. I believe that Codechef should have gone with a conventional contest, like previous years. All of this mess could have been avoided. It’s just my opinion.

Can anybody please explain the Amritapuri Selection Criteria? Is it-
- All top ranked teams from a institution are selected first.
- All teams who have solved all 5 problems are also selected.
- If seats are remaining, then the teams who have solved at least 3 problems are selected till the seats get filled up.
Am I right?
