Good Morning! I'm no [user:Laggy,2021-11-24], but I thought I would continue the tradition of making a "Teams" list for the 2021 Facebook Hacker Cup Finals, since I always found the ICPC World Finals lists fun. So here goes!↵

*An individual's _**[user:tourist,2021-11-24] factor**_ is defined as the probability that this person would perform better than tourist in a Codeforces round, as predicted by the [Elo Rating System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system).↵
↵
**Contestants with question marks in their country have not told us which country you wish to represent, and this is my best guess based on your Codeforces profile.↵

==================↵
Here's a graph of the finalists' rating vs. their Round 3 place:↵
![ ](https://wumbogames.github.io/cfPictures/R3PlaceVsRating.png)↵
↵
So yes, it's a good predictor, but it certainly doesn't explain everything; it's not out of the question that any competitor could have an unusually good or bad contest, as you would expect.↵
