Why the email about Coder-Strike 2014 Finals was sent to me AFTER the competition?
By qpalz, 10 years ago, In English

I received the email about the competition at April, 23, 2014 00:04 UTC+8 (April, 22, 2014 16:04 UTC), but the event started at April, 22, 2014 20:00 UTC+8 (April, 22, 2014 12:00 UTC). Why did I receive the email 4 hours and 4 mins AFTER the competition? Is it my own problem? (I use gmail)

"It will be rated events for all the participants. Do not miss the round!"

And surely I have missed the round :(

UPD: I see that some other users have the same problem: http://codeforces.com/blog/entry/11872 I am not alone :)

Well, it wasn't only your problem. Fortunately, I heard about the contest from a friend, but I also received the email AFTER the competition :)

I check the upcoming contests on Codeforces.com every day in order not to miss any contests.
