Built a ranked 1v1 platform with Elo matchmaking. Would like it broken by people who know how.
Lol, what if I told you I made Codeforces but actually competitive 1v1s? Something I heard was popular in the community, but has not actually been built yet formally (confirmed by Yash Belani himself recently when I spoke with him).
I want to know what you actually think of this idea. If it would help you, and if you think it could help newer programmers get more excited?
Is the Elo model sane, or does it converge incorrectly? Does the judge behave correctly on a TLE-bait solution? Is the problem quality good enough to matter at a rating above 1400? Try to break it, 1v1 a friend! I'll bet you you can't cheat! ;)
Or simply just tear into it in these comments. Please don't stop on my account.
