- The primary goal of CFKnockout is to introduce a new style of contests for Competitive Programming.
- Here the participants can create/join rooms where they compete with each other.
- The problems are selected randomly within a given range from Codeforces.
- The points for each problem are awarded to the participant who solves it first.
- In general rounds, the points are awarded based on penalty. The first solve restriction, makes it more competitive.
- Can create and join(with room code) private rooms.
- Any changes will be instant(without refreshing) and visible to everyone in the room.
- Signup if visiting for the first time.
- Login directly if already signed up.
