I find it really annoying to have TopCoder SRM and Codeforces Rounds in the same day, I usually end up missing one of them because of both are held in a horrible time (at least most of them) for my timezone, I live in California, so usually there is an SRM at 4:00 am and then a codeforces Round at 8:30 am same day ?!

I'm wondering if there is a point behind that ?! as TopCoder Calendar is usually announced before Codeforces's one ?! I assume this is not a coincidence ?!

Of course it's intended! You participate in SRM, it becomes unrated, you feel disappointed and lose your rating in CF Round!

    And, after the SRM becomes unrated, you also feel better about your codeforces experience :).

    I totally agree that recently topcoder has been really failing in delivering even fair quality SRM's, but I'm hoping for the best, I prefer being able to compete in more competitions even if some of them will be unrated.

      I assume Mariya is on her way here to give you guys a heart-to-heart talk very shortly.

A bunch of Div2 only rounds, all Div1 rounds at exactly the same time... It's like old codeforces all over again!
