Notes
- In their quarter-final match, Martin led Graham 6–2, at which point Graham conceded.
gollark: We should also abolish causality, as it is a concept which oppresses people.
gollark: I vote that we abolish time and thus months and years.
gollark: As a person, I propose that your ignorance of the opinion is ignored.
gollark: No. No groups should randomly be allowed to claim entire years. Months is bad enough, but we have even fewer years available.
gollark: "Mental state" is a very general term.
