Tourney round: Weakest Link Mayhem : Superfluid: Sign-Up & Round 1

	Thomas Carey oh what's that? just the return of the FUNNEST TOURNEY EVER
	Matthew Tassier You are hereby appointed Chief Promotion Officer for this tournament.
	Linda McGrory Have to say it was Thomas's comment that made me sign up, so I think it's a good appointment Matthew.
	Matthew Tassier Current Positions: 1 148 Matty Artell 2 128 Jim M 3 128 George Armstrong. 4 123 Bradley Horrocks 5 120 Brett Davids 6 118 Hazel Drury 7 117 Callum Todd 8 117 Joseph H 9 113 Fiona T 10 112 Karen Pearson 11 111 Linda McGrory 12 106 Phil Collinge 13 95 Zack K 14 91 Tim Down 15 88 Martin Thomas 16 83 Jason Larsen 17 79 Matthew S Rutherford 18 79 Andy SC All 18 who have played their game qualify for round 2 at the moment. Those scoring under 100 should expect to have to return here later and improve that score to stay in a qualifying spot.
	Tim Down Ahhh, I think I see now. I was tired and didn't bother to try on my game with the expectation I could just have another go the next day, but I now think that only happens if/when I get bumped out of the top 20.
	Matthew Tassier Yes, you've got it. Sorry if it's not all entirely clear :)
	Matthew Tassier Current Positions: 1 148 Matty Artell 2 134 Jonny D 3 130 Marcus Hares 4 128 Jim M 5 128 George Armstrong. 6 126 Edward Ashcroft 7 123 Bradley Horrocks 8 123 Tracey Mills 9 121 Thomas Cappleman 10 120 Brett Davids 11 118 Hazel Drury 12 117 Callum Todd 13 117 Joseph H 14 116 Chris Hare 15 113 Fiona T 16 112 Karen Pearson 17 111 Linda McGrory 18 109 John Beresford 19 109 Steven Oldham 20 106 Phil Collinge -------------------- 21 95 Zack K 22 93 Jamie French 23 91 Tim Down 24 88 Martin Thomas 25 83 Jason Larsen 26 79 Matthew S Rutherford 27 79 Andy SC
	Matthew Tassier Zack, Tim, Martin, Jason, Matthew and Andy are returning to round 1 having been knocked out of the qualifying positions.
	Matthew Tassier Those ranked 21-27 will be able to keep trying to move up into the qualifying positions.
	Matthew Tassier I have decided that as an additional rule there will be a maximum of 10 Weakest Links in a round. This will probably mean there will be more than 20 people eventually qualifying out of this round.
	Steven Oldham I like this format. :) It's like F1 qualifying never knowing if you've done enough. Fully expecting to have to 'go again'

	Matthew Tassier We have a couple of people "going back to the start", but it's Karen and Linda, with Fiona hanging on by a thread thanks to the maximum 10 Weakest Links rule. A great 140 from John puts him a very safe 2nd on the list, only behind Matty's brilliant 148. 5 players progress to round 2 for the first time.

	Ronan M Higginson Am I too late to enter?
	Steven Oldham Eesh, a new PB still isn't enough. Roll on tomorrow
	Matthew Tassier You're in Ronan :) Unlucky Steve, good effort! Keep plugging away.
	Owen Carroll I've clicked on Sign up. Am I allowed to play Matthew?
	Matthew Tassier Of course! First game added. New players remain welcome right up until the 20th November end of the first round.
	Owen Carroll Thanks Tass:)

	Matthew Tassier 4 more new players shoot through to round 2, with the leaderboard getting very crowded now!
	Owen Carroll Who are the 4 new Matthew?
	Matthew Tassier It's well done to Carlo, Mich, Ian and one Oliver C.
	Owen Carroll Awesome! Thanks!

	Matthew Tassier Cut off for round 2 up to 114 now. A lot of people looking over their shoulders!
	Karen Pearson I just keep getting worse!
	Matthew Tassier Early days :)
	John Beresford Matthew, i'm probably being thick here, but how do you have another go at a certain round? I wanted to try Rd 4 again but there is no game invite?
	Matthew Tassier You only get to have another go at a round when you get knocked out of the qualification spots in that round. At the moment you're pretty secure in round 4. Looking likely that you may have to play round 3 again for tomorrow's game.
	Fiona T This format is brilliant, Matthew, but frustrating as hell! :D
	John Beresford Okay, so yes, i WAS being thick. Thanks for clarifying.
	Matthew Tassier I'm pleased. On both fronts. Here to entertain and torture you.
	John Beresford Some people would pay good money for that, especially if you're wearing Latex.
	Karen Pearson The frustrating thing is you want to have a good 5-6 goes a day at improving your score!
	Matthew Tassier But then you'd miss out on the pressure.

	Matthew Tassier Zack, with a 9 in the final letters round and a PB joins Chris in moving on. Linda and Joseph must return here and Callum is the next player under threat.
	Chris Hare I realise that it's unlikely to make much difference, but I think James Haughton should be third (having played his game first).
	Matthew Tassier Thanks, good spot, that's in hand now :)
	Joseph H This tournament is unforgiving and brutal, but fantastic to be involved in :)

	Matthew Tassier Joseph's 121 sends him back up the tournament, so we get to welcome yesterday's tournament leader Callum back to Round 1.
	Matthew Tassier I'm still accepting last minute entrants today and tomorrow if anyone fancies a big challenge!

	Matthew Tassier Callum safely get's back through and late joiner Neil is very close to getting out of Round 1 at the first attempt.
	Linda McGrory Now I'm convinced. Matthew Tassier was a torturer in a previous life.
	Matthew Tassier Final day games for Round 1 are now up. All games must be played by midnight GMT to count. Then we will sadly lose 10 Weakest Links. No more games will be added unless we get a surprise last day entrant.
	Linda McGrory Not sure Matthew, can I request another go at Round 1?
	Neil Collins :O ruckus!
	Karen Pearson Yee Haw! I think I'm safe.
	Matthew Tassier Sorry Linda, you've had today's game, I'm afraid that's it. Well done Karen, you fight on!
	Phil Collinge You've got to feel some sympathy for someone eliminated from this round having had just two attempts, while others have had as many as sixteen.
	Matthew Tassier Final Positions: 1 151 Thomas Carey 2 148 Matty Artell 3 142 James Haughton 4 142 Chris Hare 5 140 John Beresford 6 140 Alex H 7 136 Sean Fletcher 8 134 Jonny D 9 133 Tim Down 10 130 Marcus Hares 11 130 James Hall 12 129 Martin Thomas 13 128 Jim M 14 128 George Armstrong. 15 128 Ian Birdman 16 127 Robin M 17 127 Mich H 18 127 Ian Volante 19 126 Edward Ashcroft 20 126 Anthony Endsor 21 125 Jason Turner 22 125 Stephen R 23 125 Stephen Holford 24 124 Karen Pearson 25 123 Bradley Horrocks 26 123 Tracey Mills 27 123 Fiona T 28 123 Reg Thompson 29 123 Zack K 30 123 Neil Collins 31 121 Thomas Cappleman 32 121 Joseph H 33 120 Brett Davids 34 120 Tom Chafer-Cook 35 120 Callum Todd 36 119 Carlo Harrison 37 119 Keith C Williams 38 118 Hazel Drury 39 118 Sam Prouse 40 118 Norm Ahmad 41 118 Phil Collinge 42 118 Jamie French
	Matthew Tassier Weakest Links: 1 118 James Hurrell 2 118 Oliver C 3 117 Linda McGrory 4 116 Ronan M Higginson 5 116 Sam Shepherd 6 115 Andy SC 7 112 Dan Byrom 8 112 Steven Oldham 9 110 Jason Larsen 10 99 Matthew S Rutherford
	Matthew Tassier An exciting final day sees Neil and Alex escape from the danger zone at the last chance and Karen improving to stop herself being one of the two dragged in at the last moment. Neil and Karen both have late conundrum spots to thank for their survival. Sympathy indeed for James Hurrell and Oliver, dragged into the bottom 10 right at the end with only the one chance to try to save themselves.
	Matthew Tassier So, James, Oliver, Linda, Ronan, Sam, Andy, Dan, Steve, Jason and Matthew you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye!
	James Hurrell :( Thanks for organising Matthew. Cannot be easy to keep track of this one!
	James Hurrell Also looking for a duckdown round next time ;-)
	Ronan M Higginson Thanks for hosting Matthew :)

	Owen Carroll Thanks for hosting Matthew. It's been fun.
	M S R Cheers for hosting, Matthew. T'was fun.
	Andy SC Thanks for hosting what was a chaotic but fun tournament. What is the bribe for Hebrew LA to be included next time?
	Matthew Tassier That's going to be a LOT of Shekels

Tourney round: Weakest Link Mayhem : Superfluid: Sign-Up & Round 1

Round 2 - Nice 9 >>

Notes from the organizer: Sign up for this tournament any time up until the end of round 1.

A new twist on the Weakest Link format for you all.

This will be a haphazard journey through a totally random (except for round 1) selection of named apterous English formats with a new round starting every day for 11 days.
One bot will be randomly chosen for each round and all players will play the randomly selected format in that round against that bot.

Being a Weakest Link tournament the lowest scoring player(s) will fail to progress to the next round. The difference in this tournament is that you can have multiple goes at each round, one a day, until that round is over. The consequence of this is that whilst you may qualify out of round 1 at your first attempt, you could still subsequently get knocked out of the qualifying spots and have to return to round 1 on a later day to reclaim your round 2 spot. This in turn may promote other players in following rounds who now qualify due to your absence. However should you re-qualify out of round 1 then your score for the next round will become valid once more and positions will likely change once again. It may well make more sense as we get going!

The first round will be a 15 rounder against Prune to ease you all in. The TOP 20 players will qualify for the next round. Ties will be decided by the first player to complete their game progressing.

Rounds will close on consecutive days starting at the 20th November. You are advised to play your game at the earliest opportunity to give you time for extra attempts if you don't do well. New games will be added once a day, in the morning (life permitting).

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. This also helps makes things easier for me to keep track of.

As usual any unfair aspects of this format will be claimed by the tournament organiser as deliberate features.

Good luck and enjoy!
