Trust me when I say this: I love doing many contests in a short time span. It's very fun, and carries a unique dynamic. What I don't love are the long stretches without any contests that usually follow, and this dislike trumps over my love for contests.

Now, as you all know, we will soon have 4 rounds on consecutive days, and many other rounds after that. While this excites me, I want to ask the codeforces team: Can this be avoided if possible? I guess it can't be helped if they're all based on some other on-site contest, but if not, I genuinely believe that a different schedule would be better.

edit: I realized the schedule had already been changed after I posted this :p. However, there's just a one-day gap now, so I think my point still stands.

This is so true. Now we’ll probably have 11 days without a contest.
