Disappointing procedure from this year APIO committee

By honganptnk1518, history, 7 years ago, In English

With over a week after the official contest and 3 days after the initial date of the official result, the committee still leaves us worrying about the result. This was meant no offense on anybody, I just want to express the common feeling of all the participants right now. I understand that because of the online format and multiple timezone time slots, there may be some serious problem with the scoring or appealing but I can't believe that they delay the result without any announcement even after 3 days. This makes us very confusing and longing for the result everyday. This is just my opinion, I was no meant to criticize anybody or organization, the contest was great, the server works perfectly and the problem was quite mind-bending. I just don't want such small details to ruin such wonderful contest.

UPD: APIO finally release its result ! Congrats to all medalist. I luckily got a silver.

Finally, APIO didn't open the official result even 10 days later than the contest.
I am one of the participant, but I'm still worring about the color of medal, and my rank in my country or in the world.

UPD: APIO didn't open the official result even 2 weeks later than the contest.

UPD2: Finally, APIO open the official result! Yeah! (updated on June 5) (Link)

    Latest UPD:

    Today is June 1st, and the contestants are still waiting for the results. I cannot believe it

    I'm wondering what the organising committee is doing right now :(

    FYI, I'm not one of the participant, but I want to know if my favorite participants make it to the IOI.

Finally, APIO committee opened the result.
The time is June 5th, about 7:00 AM UTC.
The schedule date was May 18, so APIO opened 18 days later than schedule. This is more than a half month.

But I'm relieved to the open. I knew my, and friends official result! (Luckily, my result was bronze.)
I say thank you to APIO committee. I thought about even APIO committee didn't open the official result forever.
