First, I think it's great that we can finally see several contests in advance. That's something we've needed for a while, and I really appreciate it!

Second, can the registration period please be extended back to like normal, when we could register as long as the contest was visible? I woke up today at 7:48AM, not realizing that the contest registration period had closed 3 minutes earlier (I had been unable to register previously). I was so sad!

I was thinking that a nice alternative would be to create a room for late registrars (say if you came in halfway through). I realize, however, that this might be more difficult than it sounds, and that you guys probably have other priorities.

Third, and I doubt I will have any affect by saying this since this site is centered in Russia, but can we have some more love for us over on the US west coast? You guys often do contests at 7PM (your time - 8am my time); if you could bump that back to 8PM (9am my time) that would be so helpful to people like me because 8am is so hard to wake up for - it's barely getting light out - but 9am is great. I also don't see that this could really hurt people over in Russia, since a 1 hour time difference is not that great towards the afternoon.

Contests scheduled from 1PM to say 5PM are basically inaccessible for me (and most of us in the US), but luckily I don't see too many of those. 

Last, I really appreciate the website codeforces and all the work you guys are doing to make it good. It's great to have an alternative to topcoder, and I think that given time this website could really give topcoder a run for their money.
