Can you please start the November Cookoff @10 PM since we have a Codeforces round which starts at 7:25 PM and ends at 9:25 which means if we want to attend both then we have to sacrifice dinner which may effect our thought process in Cookoff round.
Maybe it is not very comfortable - but it isn’t clash with 2 contest having intersection.
The reasoning you provided looks poor
How do you participate in anything like ICPC? Events there are even longer than CF round + CodeChef combined. Does it have effect on your thought process?
Yes. Events in ICPC are indeed long. Longer than any usual contest on a coding website(say, the regular CF rounds, CodeChef official contests, or topcoder SRMs). But, all the contestants taking part there(CC/CF/topCoder) might not have taken part(or are experienced in) long contests(5+ hrs) like that of an ICPC regional or ICPC WF. So, it can be a slight tedious for them sometimes
But I agree with you that it should not be the case. Perhaps a fortnight’s regular practice(at maximum) can make them eligible to take contests of 5+ hrs at a stretch with ease. Its a matter of practice only.
Yeah what all both of you said is right but my point was 9 AM - 2 PM contest is different from 7 PM - 12AM .And Yeah they are not going to change it so I will be prepared for both Contests
