Hello everyone!

recently I am thinking .. if there is Virtual Participation for contest, why there isn't Virtual Rating Change. Sometimes it is good to know our rating changes (at least for me). What do you guys think?

Do you mean have your real rating change or know how your rating would have changed?

If you mean the second, there are some reasonable ways to estimate it based on placings. It's not quite as accurate as having your rating change actually calculated, but it should work reasonably well. Given the load on the Codeforces servers every day, implementing rating calculations at random times of the day might not be such a great idea anyway.
