Introducing CF College Standings: A Custom Standings Tab for Codeforces Contests

Hello Codeforces Community!

I'm excited to announce the launch of my new Chrome extension, CF College Standings, designed to enhance your contest experience on Codeforces. This extension aims to provide a more personalized view of contest standings by allowing users to filter the results based on their educational institution. Here's a detailed look at what this extension offers and how it can benefit you! If you're a student and just interested in seeing how your peers are performing, this extension offers a convenient way to track and compare standings within your community.

One of the standout features of this extension is that it not only works for ongoing contests but also allows you to view the standings of past contests. This means you can explore how your seniors performed in previous competitions and even review their submitted code. It's a fantastic way to learn from experienced programmers within your institution and see how they tackled various problems.

Key Features

Custom Standings Tab: — The extension automatically adds a "College Standings" tab to the standings page of each contest you visit. This tab displays the standings filtered by your educational institution, making it easy to see how your peers are performing.

Automatic Organization Detection: — CF College Standings automatically detects your organization based on your Codeforces profile. It fetches the list of participants from the same institution and updates it every 24 hours.

Manual Refresh Option: — From the extension popup, you can manually trigger a refresh of the organization list to ensure you have the latest standings data. A simple extension click initiates this process, and you will receive a notification once the list is updated.

How It Works

Installation: — Simply install the CF College Standings extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Navigation: — Navigate to any Codeforces contest standings page. The extension will automatically inject the "College Standings" tab.

Viewing College Standings: — Click on the "College Standings" tab to view the standings of participants from your organization.

Refreshing the List: — To manually refresh the organization list, click on the extension icon in your browser, and select "Re-fetch Organization List." The extension will fetch the latest data and update the standings accordingly.

Why Use CF College Standings?

Community Engagement: — Engage with your peers by viewing their performances in contests. Whether for friendly competition or academic purposes, seeing your college's participants can be inspiring and motivating.

Convenience: — Quickly access filtered standings without manually searching for your institution's participants. The extension does all the work for you.

Accurate and Up-to-Date Information: — With automatic daily updates, you can be confident that you're viewing the most recent standings for your organization.

    It is already there for a certain contest, or simply choose country and check rankings on CF.

      Hey I tried this extension, but i could only get 27 members standings for (India). Is this extension (CF World Standings) is working properly for you?

      I think the developer of this extension has applied some logic to only show 30 members & it does not even show the country rank. Using this extension is useless in my opinion & if you click on country and check (its your rank for the rating, not for contest performance)

      Can anyone explain me, how this extension (CF World Standings) is useful. I am pretty sure I can develop something which is much better and useful than this.

    There already exists one, but getting the whole standings of country which would be useless, As a user what I actually expect from country standings is only the country rank & knowing country rank is also useless unless you belong to top 100 rankings of the country anything above that is only used to mention in resume.

    My extension not only focusses on your rank but also you can see your college mates codes & their active participation in contest.

    Thanks for your feedback, will surely think about it.

    Thank you for your feedback!

    I developed the new version of the CF College Standings extension, which includes the Country Rank feature, will be published soon. This feature allows you to view your country rank directly on the standings page. You’ll be able to access it directly from the Chrome Web Store once it’s available.

    I hope you enjoy the new feature!

I love your extension! However, I noticed that it doesn't display college standings for educational contests. Any chance you could fix this in the next version?

    Thank you for your feedback and report.

    I’ve tested the extension with educational contests, and it seems to be working well. Please note that it may take 10-15 seconds for the extension to initialize when you first install it and open Codeforces.

    To ensure everything functions correctly, please try the following steps:

    • Verify your organization in your Codeforces profile. There may be multiple entries for a single organization. Choose the one with the highest number of members.
    • Go to your profile and click on the "Lists" tab. Check if a list named "organization-xxxx" has been created. If it has, but there are no handles listed, click on the extension icon and select "Refetch." Wait a few seconds for the list to update.

    If you continue to encounter any issues, please let me know.

Do you think you'll be able to expand the impact of the extension to other browsers such as Edge or Safari? I really want to try it out, however as I'm currently based in China and can't bypass the wall, accessing Chrome Webstore will unfortunately not be an option. Thanks!

    sure, I can give it a try. Chrome just charged me 5 dollars to get access to post this extension in the Chrome web store. I will check with the other browsers.

    Thanks for your feedback.

This is awesome! Is it possible to have list standings so that we can make our own lists and get the standings for just those people? It will be a great help, Thanks.

UPD : Just got to know that, it's already given to us by CF. Thanks CF.
