Notes
  1. Due to the Basketball Queensland Annual Conference and Awards events being held that weekend, Round 5 was a short round.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ is implemented as fairly nonidiomatic Rust.
gollark: The main issue is that the pattern matcher is very quirky and unreliable. So I'm adding even more features.
gollark: It's somewhat working and implemented.
gollark: I fear osmarkscalculator™ more, really.
gollark: Is that dalelanguage™ or what?
