Hello Codeforces! Some of you are probably received t-shirts from me, some are not, some not yet :) My name is Matov Sergey, I am Saratov Local Codeforces t-shirts distributor. I am responsible for t-shirts from Codeforces Events and some other, such as VK Cup.

It's an honor to help winners get their prizes, but for some reason sometimes Codeforces has no info about winners. So I wished to tell about Best Practice of filling Your Codeforces social profile address.

Here are small tips that would be useful:

If you won a prize of some online event — CF profile is sometimes the only way to get your Post info. If your profile is not filled — do this. Just do it.

If for some reason you are not able to receive the t-shirt (living in University Community or something else) — make a recipient your friend/relative.

If you are moving to another state/city/country — update profile ASAP.

DO NOT write the address of your University or Department in the address field — if you don't have a permission to receive post for your University.

What does matter in the profile address fields — everything. Good looking address profile example:

T-shirt size: L | ZIP code: XXXXXX | Country: Russia | State/Region: Saratov region | City: Saratov | Address: Street X, apartment Y | Recipient: Ivanov Ivan

Information should be valid. I hope that after this post I'll never receive returns :) Good luck in competitions!
