Notes:
  1. On 24 January 2018 Achilles '29 were deducted one point for not having their budget for the 2017/2018 season in order.[2] On 16 March 2018 they were deducted another 3 points for failing to pay employees, 1 point for failing to pay the Tax and Customs Administration and another point for owing money to another club.[3]

gollark: It worked quite well, though I did have to manually narrow them down a bit.
gollark: To get around all the work of refreshing for an hour, I made a userscript to refresh every few seconds and check if the time changes.
gollark: I did *almost* that.
gollark: Free, want ND or 2G prize.
