*An individual's tourist 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.
**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.

Post-Contest Livestream (on Facebook)
Yep, be sure not to miss all the excitement in the post-contest livestream, during which Zef and I reveal the final scoreboard! Get excited--I'll see you Saturday!
