1 year ago Greetings @Shrined, thank you for sharing your concern with us.
Please be aware that currently, this application does not include participants who have a score of zero. As an illustration, consider biweekly-contest-103, where you can visit page 500 to observe that 12,498 users have a non-zero score. This is because we are unable to distinguish between users who have not participated and those who have a score of zero, so we cannot calculate the penalties. You can find further details on this matter in the post titled New Rating Algorithm Details - Contest Season and Absence in Participation.
Regarding the time-related matter, I am currently testing a new crawling and data-merging method that may be slightly faster than the LeetCode US site. As I am still testing this method, I will update the codebase and documentation accordingly.

The results of leetcode contests typically require over 15 minutes to account for every participant. However, https://lccn.lbao.site/ consistently predicts ratings before all participants' results are collected. For instance, during today's bi-weekly contest (4/29/2023), the prediction occurred at 11:11:43 AM CDT, but the final participant count was only completed around 11:20 AM. Consequently, the last page of https://lccn.lbao.site/predicted/biweekly-contest-103 displays 12,498 participants, while the actual total was 17,137. This incomplete data leads to inaccurate rating predictions.
