Report

Connacht Senior Club Football Championship
Main article: 2019–20 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship
gollark: From what I understand, when you get a close-but-not-there hash, the pool gives you some currency for it.
gollark: How are people not constantly doing this?
gollark: So... you can... easily defraud them?
gollark: What mechanisms do the pools have to stop you from joining them until you get a block then quitting and rejoining?
gollark: But still, styropool™ would probably not be big enough to ever actually get any block whatsoever and actually *work* as a risk spreading mechanism.
