Hi, Why can't those who have advanced to Round 2 participate in sub-rounds 1B and 1C at all? I think that it would be better if they could participate unofficially (this is like participating normally, except that their results are not considered when determining who advances to Round 2).
Do you think that this is a good idea? Some other well-known competitions, such as TopCoder Open, allow that kind of unofficial participation (by means of parallel rounds), and it works well for them. In contrast, it is hard to find another competition that disallows participation for having already advanced to the next round. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
