Results analysis
2017-04-11
Curious as to how each category did in PiWars (Professional, Intermediate and Beginner), I've annotated the official results with the category of the team and their overall leaderboard position in that category. For example, "2 wheels or not 2 wheels" is "Pro 1", as the winning Professional. You'll note that "Beginners" top four out of the seven categories!
