Eoin Jackson Nooooo! Not another Speed round... 😥

Chris Hare

Chris Hare I'll get my coat.

Chris Butler

Chris Butler Can you grab mine while you're there?

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell I'm stubbornly leaving my coat where it is.

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson With 12 people left to play this, incl. those who were almost weakest links in previous rounds, I reckon you are in no danger of needing warm clothing.

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell It's looking a bit better now but when I posted Jamie hadn't played and I was next in line after the Chrises.

Thomas Carey

Thomas Carey thanks for hosting! probably shouldn't have done it while multitasking :)

Jason Turner

Jason Turner Speed rounds always my Achilles Heel. :(

Michael Oldham

Michael Oldham My tourney game isn't in my list of games, is it not automatic?

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Don't worry everyone, we found it :)

Alan O'Sullivan

Alan O'Sullivan Phew! I scraped through again! Hypernasty is next though.........

Michael Oldham

Michael Oldham

Michael Oldham Ahhhh noooo, shame to lose to a misclick, but i'm sure that's happened to many people so far in this tournament and not misclicking is also a skill in itself! good luck to everyone still in, was good fun trying some different variants.

Congrats to strongest link, Tal.
And as for Michael, Me, Thomas and Jason... we suck. Good riddance! 😀

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier I think my job's safe.
As points leader Elliott tops 3000 points, Tal is celebrating his first ever Strongest Link title.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Despite their fears, the Chris's survive by 1 and 3 points at the unfortunate expense of Michael who matches the highest scoring Speed exit. Amongst the other departures, we also lose last years finalist and 2017 champion Thomas and speed-phobes Jason and Eoin. So, Michael, Eoin, Thomas and Jason you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye!

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Your job is safe as houses!

Just to make my intentions toward this tournament crystal clear, I do not intend to bow out with good grace. Instead, I will play along with each of the remaining rounds. One practise game followed by the 'real thing'. I'll post my score as a comment.

I love this tournament too much to abandon it over such a trivial technicality as having been eliminated! 😅

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2021: Round 16 - Speed

<< Round 15 - Lockdown | Round 17 - Hypernasty >>

Notes from the organizer: It's time to pick up the pace once more as round sixteen will be a Speed Numbers Attack against Apterous Prime. Prime is pretty inconsistent here in the sharp 10 second rounds and picks the ticklish 3 large numbers.

Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors : 32
Weakest Links required : 4
Most WL Speed max games : 1 - Chris Butler
Highest average WL Speed score : Elliott Mellor 186.25 (4 games)
Highest scoring Speed Weakest Link : 134 - Elizabeth Beer (2020)
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).
