Dear all,

I would like to host a private contest using Codeforces. However, I would also like to avoid CF being down due to maintenance. How do people deal with this? Do you maybe know how much in advance maintenance is announced?

This is going to be a 2-person team contest. I plan to have 70-100 teams. So, I am wondering whether there is a way to generate accounts for them automatically. Do you maybe know whether it is possible and, if yes, how to generate?

Thanks.
