[FEATURE REQUEST] Blitz for everyone!
By wasif2397, history, 14 months ago, In English

Codeforces Blitz Cup is going on and it looks pretty fun. I think it'd be nice to have it for everyone where we can have random 1v1s using matchmaking with people around the user's Codeforces rating. Maybe having a separate rating for Blitz would also make it more fun but matchmaking should be based on Codeforces rating. Problems should also be around the user's Codeforces rating which would make it more balanced and fun.

(Obviously, there's no need for streaming and commentary except for tournaments.)

Edit:

  1. With a large amount of upvotes, I'd like to tag Sir MikeMirzayanov. Sir, please consider this 🙏🙏

  2. Addressing the issue that What if someone cheats or we've seen the problem already?:

  • In my personal opinion, fun is more important.
  • If blitz rating system like one in chess.com is used then the cheaters will not affect the rating as well.
  • If one of the user has seen/solved a problem already then maybe having a Cancel/Draw option will he useful if both of them are honest which would pretty much create an element of fairplay.

What do you all think?

i have an idea if its not available for all of us

interested participants form a discord channel for communication, and we can organize codeforces mashups

    but it will not have something to flex for the participants. I know that you can get duel rating through TLE-bot with duels and lockup contests but having a codeforces rating to fight for will be something more fun imo

It would be cool to have an official codeforces blitz rating.

The problem is that it uses problems from past rounds and there's no way to prevent cheating

While this likely wont be official it could be a cool idea for a third party discord bot (with cross server matchmaking) or even a chrome extension, its a cool idea nonetheless!
