Tournament awards
Three Stars of the Tournament
- 3 Scott Champagne (Mercyhurst)
- 2 Jamie Holden (Quinnipiac)
- 1 Matt Ella (Mercyhurst)
gollark: One way would be to just *randomly* consume your krist with some low probability instead of using it on whatever, but that would be unpopular and also these will be deterministic.
gollark: Although without fractional krist you probably can't pass it onto users very well.
gollark: They can just pass it onto users and document this.
gollark: Actually, I think billing the v-script creator would work fine.
gollark: You could say "v-scripts"/"t-scripts" or something, if you MUST shorten it.
