The blog doesn't interest you if you're not mentioned so skip reading to save your time!
As you might've read in Mr.Pie's blog post, some users have got rating change despite them being Master ranked and unrated in Codeforces Round 1056 Div.2, these are:
Rising-coder -me, ivandasfs, saboten, konghaojie, GuilhermeCdM, yahia, CoderAbhi27, lyteabovenyte
Why did this happen ?
It appears all of us have registered to the round when we were Candidate-Master. That's still a bug of course because I did the same many times before but this didn't happen.
Why am I posting this blog ?
Well I tried contacting MikeMirzayanov, and the round coordinator errorgorn, and one of the authors efishel. But they all read and ignore. So yeah I'll just spam more!
Why do I even care ?
I've participated in 5 Rounds since getting to Master:
Codeforces Round 1056 (Div. 2) — Should've been unrated, my rating stays 2131 — got -160 change instead.
Educational Codeforces Round 183 (Rated for Div. 2) — Should've been unrated, my rating stays 2131 — got -80 change instead.
Codeforces Round 1057 (Div. 2) — Should've been unrated, my rating stays 2131 — got +50 change instead.
Codeforces Round 1058 (Div. 1) — Legit rated, My rating should be 2083 — It is actually 1936 instead.
Codeforces Round 1060 (Div. 2) — Legit rated dependeing on last (Div. 1) and I should fly to 2206 rating instead of me being 2113 now.
I'm going for International Master so it does matter if these changes were correct!
I appreciate it if someone related to preparing the round actually replies!
I absolutely have no doubts that this blog is very annoying and deserves to get downvoted, but I have to.
