Hello Codeforces
Moscow team olympiad 2021 wrapped up a week ago, and the final standings made me disappointed (congratulations to winners, though). Two teams out of the top-10 weren't able to come up with some team name, and this is the greatest amount of no-name teams in the top 10 among all Moscow team olympiads.
My students often ask me how to choose a name for a team. So, today I decided to polish my list of rules and finally make it public.
Initially, your team name has 0 points. For each violation of any rule, this score increases by some amount of points. In the end, if the score is at least 2, I suggest not to use this name. Otherwise, you can use it.
"Noname team", "didn't come up with the name", etc. — 2 points
Something from programming ("Random shuffle", "Fans of C++", ...) — 2 points. This rule has an exception: if it is a fresh programming-related pun, not just a mention of some concept, it's only 1 point.
First letters of names/surnames — 2 points.
In case it is stated in the rules of the competition that there are always three people in a team: "three of ..." — 1 point.
Do I miss some rules to make standings less boring? Write in the comments. Otherwise, write in the comments something else.
