Gevin Chapwell Pretty sure Apterous was conspiring against me there.

Chris Butler

Chris Butler I've recently started using a mac. Does anyone know the shortcuts for moving +/- from the target? It's costing me points left, right and centre, thanks!

Perry Sarb

Perry Sarb I normally just use the arrow keys, if that helps you any

Thomas Carey

Thomas Carey yeah control up/down (and crtl+space for exact target). i don't think i've typed a target in years

Chris Butler

Chris Butler control+space works for target but not control up/down (those shortcuts already exist for window minimising/maximising). Maybe it depends on the mac model (I'm using a MacBook Air from 2020)

Chris Butler UPDATE: I kept on messing around and found them.

Exact target: Contorl + Space
+/- from target: Control + Option + Up/Down

Hopefully this helps someone else too

Jason C.

Jason C. Literally eliminated in the 25th hour of the last day. Well done everyone, and good luck.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Only Prime could max this one, but George's first 19-max Touchdown game earns him his first ever Strongest Link title.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier As competition continues to hot up I make it 9 players who were within 10 points of the elimination line, as well as a few close to timing out. But 4 players have to be eliminated so, Jason C., Matty, Mike and Martin T. you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye!

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Well that's going on my CV... :D

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2021: Round 13 - Touchdown

<< Round 12 - Berserk | Round 14 - Duckdown >>

Notes from the organizer: Round thirteen will be played in Touchdown format against Apterous Prime. Prime scores very heavily and likes 3 large numbers, which can be particularly awkward/interesting in this variant if one of the larges is repeated.

Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors : 44
Weakest Links required : 4
Previous Touchdown WL max games : 4
Highest Touchdown WL score : 197 - Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Edward Ashcroft, Rahul Suresh, Vincent Barcet
Previous rounds v this bot : 2017 Round 13 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=1888 )
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.

FOUR lowest scoring Weakest Links will be removed from the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest scores then margin of victory/defeat will be taken into account amongst tied players followed, if necessary, by total score in the tournament so far (see notes by matches).
