I want to test
By Timosh, history, 3 months ago, In English

I always wanted to help organize a contest, however I see almost every problemsetter is atleast a master. On top of that, I tried to create a problem statement in polygon, it was sophisticated, all those validators, chekers, thing called testlib.h. So, I want to atleast be a tester of a contest. Who can tell how to be one?

Actually I am interested in that too, since there must be some problem-setters doesn't have so many classmates/friends to test for him, is the testers just be random assigned?

Contact any of the round coordinators. I believe this is the best way to start.

You can join TheForces, we'll call for testers every round, also if you were trusted we'll ask you to test our next official rounds ;)

I see almost every problemsetter is atleast a master There are many counter cases, I'm sure you can set problems.

PS: You can also set problems in TheForces too, we all were noob in problem setting, but we learned to set problems by communicating with experienced setters, you can contact experienced users in TheForces server.
