Notes

  1. The match between Assam and Orissa was not played. Assam were declared winners

gollark: I think I'm somewhat more likely to post weirder things late at night, but that's because I end up getting tired and my brain works "glitchily" then.
gollark: The Unicode Consortium works in mysterious ways.
gollark: It only *loads* the config file, because trying to update it would be silly, so that's not really a huge problem.
