Today I found I can choose IOI format for my mashup (in "Edit" tab). It looks like a new feature but I can't deal with it :D.

Submitting author's solution returns the next verdict: "Partial result: 0 points"

Opening standings references me to error page:

So I thought I should set points for the problem in polygon, but I didn't find such feature. Codeforces, how to set an IOI-style contest in mashup if it possible? Or is this feature still under development?
