      False. The problem qualities are way better now.

    I am more afraid of alts. What's stopping a Div 1 participant to create a new account and get the prize in Division 3.

      Also it would make it more difficult for genuine div3 participant to reach div2, in turn encouraging more cheating.

      Why would they go for 750 rs when they can get 1500 easily by remaining in DIV-1 and coming in top 100

          Nah barely 130 people participate, one has got a better-expected value if one participates in Div-1(by div-1 I mean actually div-1 not those people who reached thereby cheating)

        Sshhh making up for that loss is EZ.

        A Div1 user just creates 2 Alts, both rank under 100 and you take your 1500.

            With the non existent plag check on codechef you can simply copy paste from one id to another.

    I think I missed some point, why would they get excited for 750rs that too for only one time?

nice steps to encourage people to learn coding but now pro(div 1) coders will easily make alt accounts and participate in div 3 contests.. and maybe more cheating will be happened for money -_-

    it takes them months to transfer laddoos to the winner's account I wonder T-Shirt would take a few years for sure.

Why is everybody complaining? Cheaters will have a hard time getting into top10.

... unless the prizes are for top10 in div2 and div3 too. But I can't believe they would make such a stupid decision.

    Well it says:

    • First-time winners in Div 2 who make it to the top 200 for the first time get Amazon Vouchers worth Rs. 750 each.
    • First-time winners in Div 3 players who make it to the top 200 for the first time get Amazon Vouchers worth Rs. 750 each.

    If he takes the pains to make a bank account/get a new sim (amazon acc) for every alt created, I think he deserves the 10$.

    In fact, this system is much better than laddus imo.

      very true, I've 2000 laddus in my account and the only sensible item in their goodies section was the bag and they've removed it now, the goodies section is full of stupid drones now.

Would this prize structure hold even for unrated contests (like Lunchtime)?

I received this mail:
Hey CodeCheffer,
For all those who have been bracing themselves for the July CookOff, you must hold your horses for a little while, for the contest has been postponed to Jul 28, 2021. :(
