A Suggestion to Postpone the Recent Round
By zhengru_ioi_team, history, 4 hours ago, In English

Hello, Codeforces! As September approches, school is near. I believe many of you (including me) are havn't finished the summer vacation homeworks yet. So, I think there won't be many participants in this round (Round 969). I believe it will be a better idea to postpone the round a little so that there will be more participants and make the problem setters feel that it is worthwhile to spend so much time on setting the problems. All in all, I believe it will be a great idea to put the contest off to September 3rd or something like that. Hope you will support my suggestion!

I see that almost half support me. I am very touched. Thank you all!

Oops, I see that I am losing popularity. Could you please speak up in the comments if you object iwth me? Thanks.

I think this is an imaginative idea.

I agree, even though it might not happen this contest, in the future, when summer ends, try to do more rounds on weekends. (my school has started already so I can't do this contest)

Around the globe someone or other will have vacation hw, exams , etc at all times. I guess it is not possible to postpone contest for this reason. I am not saying this rudely but if you feel you won’t be able to manage it then you can give it virtually. Postponing contests due to summer hw for specific regions does not seems to be a good reason to postpone it.
