Notes
- a Originally the 7th seeds were Vera Mathias and Norman Peach, but the latter apparently withdrew from the event.
- b Most likely. Often spelled Miss C. Finlayson, even in sources that mentioned her as Miss M. Finlayson in other articles.[8]
- c List of entrants pairs Mrs. Mathias with Ken Berriman.[9]
- d Probably (see: [a] and [c]). No source gives an information about such a draw, let alone the result.
gollark: The web is actually not too slow thanks to tons of optimization work, WASM, and very fast JITs.
gollark: If someone made a shiny new platform *anyway*, it would lose a significant convenience feature the browser has: you can embed application-y stuff into your regular site, and conveniently use a hypertext™ link to go to your application or whatever.
gollark: Well, as possibly unfortunate as it is, it is VERY COMPLEX to make an application platform which is browser-y in scope and so it'll probably not be replaced.
gollark: Yes, electron bad.
gollark: You can also try and package everything into one megaquery, but that is bad and you shouldn't do it.
