Notes
  1. From the first edition of the tournament in which the women participated (1896) until the women's only 1979 WTA German Open in Berlin the women's events were played together with the men at the German Championships in Hamburg.
gollark: Fine, just everyone with a bunch of wyrms.
gollark: We just need to synchronize the timings of five people with >50 xenowyrms.
gollark: The wonderful thing about the AP is that pretty much everything is likely to eventually be grabbed when its timer runs down.
gollark: I have, weirdly, gotten at least three dragons with "Terrafreaky" ancestry.
gollark: I have bred most of my dragons together while my eggslots were full. Soon, the nocturne-flooder will regret their decision, when a bunch of random stuff arrives, in two days. MWAHAHAHA!
