Re: [gcj] Keeping old rounds open for training?

['Pablo Heiber' via Google Code Jam]

Hi,

We definitely aim to do this or something really similar in the near
future, but in-competition functionality have priority for obvious reasons.
We are planning to have a practice session in between R1A and R1B so you
can try the problems from QR and R1A, we'll publish exact dates and format
soon. You can expect it to be just a very long round with all visible test
cases so you can see your results and no scoreboard.

Best,
Pablo

Hmm, that does seem like a simple thing to do in the meantime. Of course, I
don't know how far they are from being able to open up practice on old
contests; if they're feeling like that's close enough, maybe they don't
want to send out the input files just yet.

[gcj] Keeping old rounds open for training?

[meir]

I would recommend publishing test files after the round.
For the interactive this is insufficient but if the testing code is reasonably 
independent we could ask it be published as well after the round.

[gcj] Keeping old rounds open for training?

[Rui Gonçalves]

One strength of the old contest format was that it's very easy for you to keep 
the judge system up and running after the contest - it just needed to provide 
small and large inputs and check that the uploaded solutions match the correct 
answers.

What will you do in this new contest format? Do you plan to keep the judge 
running for previous rounds (practice and qualification sessions), just like 
Codeforces and other competitive programming websites do? I'd be very 
disappointed if I stopped being able to train with old rounds or improve my 
submitted solutions.
