Codeforces Rounds always at the same time??
By otero1991, 12 years ago, In English

Why are the Codeforces rounds always at the same time and the same days, I think that they should be for example on weekends when people doesn't have to work or to go to school. For me and some friends is very difficult to participate on CodeForces rounds becouse we have to miss some lessons!!!! I think this should be considered!!

Hi everybody, I agree with Otero because Codeforces is a great place I have to develop my skills and learn in contest and sometimes I need to work and I miss the contest. Maybe, it is a good idea to do more contest in the weekends.

I think it's bad idea to make cf rounds on weekends. Weekends it's time when you can relax after difficult week. And i don't want to strain on this time too. This is only my opinion :)

    I know that 19:30 is a good time for Europe, but a high % of contest were at this time. I live in America and I like to participate in Codeforces contest. Problems is that I have to work Monday to Friday every week and always contests are at 11:30 am in Local Time. I know it is my particular case because high % of coders are students, but people work too and I use part of the weekend to study. Well, I know that when we are student and spend all the week studying, we want to take a rest on weekends.

There are many contests in weekends in Russia. Open Cup for example. I think it's will be too difficult
