AP Rankings at time of tournament
gollark: Yes.
gollark: <@102038103463567360> I think I would go with Bezoi.
gollark: Of course it needs multiple Jeff Bezoi. I really don't see why anyone would be against the idea.
gollark: I'd like to just entirely drop os.loadAPI in potatOS, since it makes for a ton of flaky potatoBIOS code, but I think shell would break.
gollark: Or go to great lengths to virtualize environments/FSes exactly as programs want them using YAFSS or something.
