Genesis Points table

The Order of Merit used a points system, called Genesis Points. Points were awarded based on the player's position in each event. 1,000 points were awarded to the winner, 600 points for second place, down to 5 points for those finishing outside the top 60. All 15 events had the same points. Moon Kyong-jun did not win any tournaments but had 7 top-10 finishes.

gollark: Modern computers are *extremely fast*. Billions of instructions per second *per core*. Yet somehow software gets increasingly terrible such that just having a chat app like this open (in a browser) uses a substantial fraction of that, and enough memory to store several hundred *novels*.
gollark: Everything is fast with sufficiently good computers. That doesn't make it not bad.
gollark: Starting up heavily modded Minecraft takes several minutes, uses tons of RAM (this is admittedly mostly Mojang's fault), and actually prints an impressive amount of warnings.
