Dave Robjohns Spotted this a while back and looks like a good format so I don't mind having a go at running it - unless you're still keen to, Matthew!

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2019: Sign-up page

Round 1 - Unlimited Junior >>

Notes from the organizer: Welcome to the 4th annual running of the Apterous Weakest Link Numbers Tournament. Last year Bradley added his name to the Champions Roll of Honour:
2016 - Chris Butler
2017 - Tom Carey
2018 - Bradley Horrocks https://www.apterous.org/to_meta.php?meta=5202

As much fun was had, I'm pleased to confirm that January will see the start of the 2019 tournament. Will 2019 see another new name added to this list, or could we have our first 2-time winner?

Starting with the easier variants this tournament will be a journey through apterous numbers formats with the lowest scorer(s) being eliminated each round.
One bot will be randomly chosen for each round and all players will play a numbers attack in that round's variant against that bot.
The lowest scoring player (or players if we need to eliminate more than 1) is knocked out each round. If there is a tie for lowest score then the tiebreaks will be:
1) performance against opponent (i.e. margin of victory/loss over 20 rounds).
2) Total player score over all tournament rounds so far.

With the first round beginning on Jan 7th there should be a new round every Monday and Friday. Rounds will be overlapping with a two week time limit giving some flexibility in case of holidays etc. If you are going to be away from apterous for more than a week then aptomail me and you will be able to play round(s) early if necessary.
Hopefully there will again be enough participants to allow us to go through the full list of 24 recognised numbers attacks.

NOTE : Games should be played in a single sitting (barring unforeseen problems), after all there's no passing and coming back later in The Weakest Link. Any penalties for anyone repeatedly failing to do this will be at the organiser's discretion.

Whether you have designs on winning the tournament, or you're just challenging yourself to get through the first few rounds, please don't hesitate to throw your hat into the ring.
Sign-ups will remain open until the end of the first week of the first round.
All aboard!
