Notes
  1. Criteria changed following cancellation of the 2020 PGA Professional Championship; originally set to be the top 20 players in that tournament.
gollark: I mean, I can manually update the pack files, but then the server won't update unless I also edit that, and then my friend won't be able to join.
gollark: I would use it but my modpack installer system requires that there be a public URL to access it.
gollark: Otherwise known as "microseconds" by sane people.
gollark: Kilonanoseconds?
gollark: kns?
