Hi guys, you should read this new post (Click on JeromeC to toggle the post) 
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us 
Regarding the balance it is really difficult to judge but I think that overall your proposition is good.
In my opinion for contests you should consider both types separately.
Maybe we could do BO3 Solo + BO3 Multi ?
A small remark regarding optimizations puzzles : for a given language if 2 players have exactly the same number of caracters they should have the same ranking/score.
That’s all folks !

I was writting a post to propose a BO3 Solo/Multi but you already did it <3
Solo and Multi are too different to be merge, I guess.
Moreover, this is also the best way to represent the level of a codingamer.
@mattrero They don’t have the same ranking, because someone find the optimized code before the other.
Percentage / Criterion / Submission Time.
What I meant is that I don’t think time should be considered in optimization puzzles.
For me time and speed should only matter in contests.
Optimization puzzles are meant to be permanent so future players will be at a disadvantage if time matters.
On the same topic I think that players who don’t pass 100% of test cases should have 0 points.
I mean, optimizations are usefull only when the code works, right ?

Optimization puzzle should be permanent, but not the associated puzzles (Thor, Skynet) I guess. It will change when a large number of people will have found the best code … OR NOT
Of course, if not I’ll publish this code:
G!
