Standings in AtCoder Virtual Participation

Revision en1, by Geothermal, 2023-12-21 23:18:22

While using the virtual participation tool on AtCoder, the "Standings" page shows the result of the contest as of the end of the competition. This means there isn't a way to view the standings as of the current time in your virtual contest (i.e., when I'm one hour into my virtual participation I would want the standings to display the results from submissions made in the first hour of the contest). This prevents me from practicing using the scoreboard to inform my strategy. The "Virtual Standings" tab does adjust to the time of the virtual contest, but there are usually too few participants for this page to provide much useful information. Right now, the best solution I know of is to use CLIST, which does support viewing scoreboards partway through a contest, by just scrolling to the current time in my VC whenever I want to check the scoreboard, but this isn't an ideal solution because it involves using an external site and requires me to manually select the current time in my virtual participation. Is there any chance the AtCoder developers could change the virtual participation feature so that the standings page updates correctly during virtual contests?

(My apologies if this has been brought up already or if this functionality is already available somewhere that I've missed.)
