Series standings

The series was won by Tim Brook.[2]


gollark: It gets JITed. Did you not know?
gollark: Compilers did that, not people, probably.
gollark: I'm actually always correct so yes.
gollark: Premature optimisation is bad, so avoid spending ages for dubiously useful speed gains. But really inefficient code in some contexts is also bad, so optimise tight loops, frequently called stuff and real time stuff.
