 | Matthew Tassier I won't add the final round until the final three competitors are known. |
 | Chris Butler I was hoping for a 120 and this certainly wasn't as good as my practise rounds, but might be enough. It is tough. I've no regrets on picking 4L since I only lost points on 2 of my own picks. If I do go out here, at least I've discovered a new favourite format in the process :) |
 | Zarte Siempre There are not many rescue jobs that I'm more proud of than that... |
| Matthew Tassier 7 points after 6 rounds! great effort from there. |
| Chris Butler Yes, crackin' comeback.
|
 | Rahul Suresh Agree with you, Chris; lots of nice tricks possible with 4L in this format- will be playing it in the future for sure..
|
 | Elliott Mellor Bah, I would get the one with the lowest max out of anyone. I'm not out of it yet though:-) |
| Chris Butler See rules : "No whinging will be accepted" ;) |
| Chris Butler Just needing Thomas to mess up royally and one of you to get your account de-activated by Charlie. You may laugh but it happened last year!
|
| Matthew Tassier Glad you enjoyed it Chris, unlucky to fall just short there. |
| Elliott Mellor It could have been a lot different, I managed to just about get above 110 with 8 consecutive maxes at the end after feeling down and out. |

| Matthew Tassier 3 great rescue efforts in fact, Chris was leading until the last few rounds. |
| Matthew Tassier At the 42nd time of asking, Thomas gets well deserved recognition as this round's Strongest Link. |
| Matthew Tassier Really tight though from top to bottom on this interesting challenge and it's unlucky to miss out on the final for last time's champ and a very strong newcomer. Chris and Elliott you are the Weakest Links, Goodbye! |
| Zarte Siempre Tom making the final of a numbers tournament is akin to me being on the starting line for the able-bodied 100m in 2020...
|
 | Thomas Carey Heh. Cheers Matthew, definitely wasn't expecting to get anywhere near this far.

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2017: Round 22 - Octolock
Notes from the organizer: For the penultimate round it's the long awaited appearance of Octolock. With larges of 20, 30, 40 and 50 and only 5 numbers to work with, it can often be tricky to get anywhere near your target in this variant, and your opponent here will be Rex who will choose the rarely played 4 Large option. As with Octorock some players will likely get games with far lower possible max scores than others do. No whinging will be accepted, that's just luck of the draw once more.
The two lowest scoring players in this round will exit the tournament leaving three players to contest the final round. If there is a tie for lowest scores then margin of defeat will be the deciding factor amongst tied players followed, if necessary, by total score in the tournament so far (see notes by matches).
Good luck to the final five!
Ran from: 24 March – 6 April 2017. Format: Octolock Numbers Attack. Matches: One-off. Approved.
Fixtures: 5. Completed: 5.
