Notes
  1. Nepal Red was effectively a full national team
  2. Nepal Blue was effectively a national B team
gollark: I just saw and missed a silver in the coast... annoying.
gollark: I love autorefreshing, it's so much more convenient than just *waiting* for eggs to get enough views to hash.
gollark: This is irritating. There are so many prizes and silvers and golds in the AP and I *keep* missing them.
gollark: That is definitely a concern, I guess. Nobody has complained about it so far, but it's hardly widely-used.
gollark: Well, for the first issue, you can copy the file link in the message, I can't really do much about the second one.
