Clash of Codeforces Global Round 16 with Facebook Hacker Cup 2021 — Round 1
By papapyjama, history, 3 years ago, In English

As we all know, the Facebook Hacker Cup 2021 — Round 1 is being held from Saturday, September 11, 2021, 10:30 PM (IST), till Sunday, September 12, 2021, 10:30 PM (IST). The timing for Codeforces Global Round 16 is from Sunday, September 12, 2021, 8:05 PM (IST) and will last 150 minutes. These 150 minutes will clash with the Facebook Hacker Cup, so I humbly request you postpone the Global Round 16 by 24 hours.

You don't need 24 hours for FBHC Round 1. It's set that way so that anybody can find time for them.

I don't think it is necessary. Basically in FB Hacker Cup Round 1, penalty time doesn't affect much (maybe no effect) to your result. Moreover, I don't think we can solve one more problem in just 5 mins, so reschedule the round is not needed.

I think that AtCoder and Codeforces contests often happening back-to-back with less than 1 hour gap between them is a bigger inconvenience. But few people care, most likely I'm the only one having low endurance troubles :-)
