Do you even imagine how much effort does it take to prepare one contest? We should be happy if we have one contest per week, man.

    I think he was talking about contests distribution not about contest numbers. Indeed, having 10 contests in 10 days and then none in an entire month is much worse than having a contest once at 3 days. I agree, the effort needed to prepare a CF round is huge, but they could redistribute them.

      Ok, then I would agree. chill21, sorry if I misinterpreted your message. But still, 5 days is not too long to wait. If you want more practice, you can just go ahead with archive and try virtual contests. Maybe, the big gaps between contests could be filled with Educational rounds which are (maybe) easier to prepare?

        Three contests in back to back days is not a very good schedule when there's clearly room for stretch.

    You are right. My round has took about 3~4 weeks of time of me.
