Simulating Regional Contets
By aajjbb, history, 8 years ago, In English

Hi CF,

I'd like to know if there's a platform where it's possible to simulate old ICPC regional contests with teams that participated in the regional in the score (similar to Codeforces Gym ghosts).

Currently, we train creating contests in a2oj, which is fine, but without feedback from which problems other teams are solving, the contest dynamic is way different.

Thanks

You can use http://acm.hust.edu.cn/vjudge/toIndex.action for having such contests. In that case you have to create a csv file of the ranklist of the original contest(see here) and upload it there. But you won't need to create it if somebody else has already created it for that particular contest. Hope that helps :)

    Hi, I've tried to clone a contest which already had an original ranklist included, but this ranklist wasn't added to my cloned contest. Do I have to generate another ranklist file ? There's a way to clone an exact contest with it's ranklist included ?

      Let me explain how to do this using an example.

      Suppose you are doing this contest : acm.hust.edu.cn/vjudge/contest/view.action?cid=119641.

      Initially the ranklist will look like this : http://imgur.com/TkwkqrE

      Now go to the settings tab in the lower right side of the page and add the contest "2015 ACM-ICPC Asia Regional Contest Shanghai Site — Onsite Contest" to your ranklist. Now the standlings of the original contest is added and the ranklist looks like this : http://imgur.com/Akxvr9j. You can also add standings of other peoples who did this same contest :)
