Hello, Codeforces Community!
We are excited to introduce the GoForGold Long Challenges.
The long challenge format is where contestants are given a long period of time, usually a week or several days, to work on a set of problems. Some notable examples include CodeChef Long Challenges (discontinued) and HackerEarth Circuits (discontinued).
We will host GoForGold Long Challenges every month .
The duration will be ~10 days (from Friday afternoon to next Sunday midnight).
Short contests are fun, and almost all the recognized competitions are in this format only. The adrenaline rush they provide is what makes CP a sport, but there are some really good benefits of Long challenges :
This is a community driven initiative and all the problems are prepared/picked by the community. This is the first iteration and the problems will be a mix of old and new problems of varying difficulty level (800-2700). The nature of the problem will be educational and not ad-hoc.
We will also release topics and hints on day-7 so that participants will have 3 more days in which they can learn the concept and try the problem again. We will host the post contest discussion of the contest along with some learning sessions on the topics involved.
