Is there any chance we might be able to filter by country or within my friends list for the next round of the Google CodeJam? To be honest, it's by far the thing I miss the most from the previous competitions and Google CodeJam doesn't seem as fun without it. On Sat, 6 Apr 2019 at 01:50, Dmitry Ku

[gcj] Countries and Friend in Scoreboard

2018-04-06 Thread Martín Fixman
In previous CodeJams it was possible to find the countries of the users in the scoreboard, and to filter them by some friend list. This was extremely useful (and fun!) since it allowed you to easily compare yourself to some peers. Are there any plans to bring this back to the new format? -- You
