Final Remarks
The US Open contest is our final contest of the 2021-2022 season, serving as our "national championship" and receiving high weight during selection of finalists to attend our 2022 summer training camp. The contest ran smoothly and despite a number of relatively difficult problems, we saw impressive scores across all four divisions, and reasonably high numbers of promotions.
For those not yet promoted, remember that the more practice you get, the better your algorithmic coding skills will become -- please keep at it! USACO contests are designed to challenge even the very best students, and it can take a good deal of hard work to excel at them. To help you fix any bugs in your code, you can now re-submit your solutions and get feedback from the judging server using "analysis mode".
A large number of people contribute towards the quality and success of USACO contests. Those who helped with this contest include Benjamin Qi, Danny Mittal, Michael Cao, Ray Bai, Andrew Wang, Aryansh Shrivastava, Jesse Choe, Nick Wu, Richard Qi, Andi Qu, Spencer Compton, Mark Chen, Jichao Qian, and Daniel Zhang. Thanks also to our translators and to Clemson CCIT for providing our contest infrastructure. Finally, we are grateful to the USACO sponsors for their generous support: Citadel, Ansatz, X-Camp, TwoSigma, EasyFunCoding, and Jump Trading.
We hope you enjoyed the 2021-2022 season and look forward to seeing everyone again in fall 2022!
Happy coding!
