 | Darren Godfrey Well that was poo |
 | Matthew Tassier With all 71 players having completed their games, round 1 is complete. 25 max games is the most ever in a Lock Junior round and it is my pleasure to declare Dave K as the Strongest Link for the first time. |
| Matthew Tassier Unfortunately therefore it is time to lose our first competitor, with Derek being the one to fall just short here. Derek, you are the Weakest link. Goodbye! |
 | Tlou Laz I absolutely crashed and burned last night... I guess that serves me right for playing having done 5 hours of driving beforehand :/ |
| Matthew Tassier Unlucky, but definitely worth picking a sensible time to play. |
Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2022: Round 1 - Lockdown Junior
Notes from the organizer: The bots have been randomly allocated to the variants and the round order optimised. As usual we will be starting off relatively easy, round one being played in Lockdown Junior format against Apterous Waldorf. Waldorf will pick 1 large and should find the max about half of the time. For Lockdown don't forget to always include the red number in your calculations, whether directly or in a dead end, before you reach the target.
Some stats for this round:
Competitors: 52+
Weakest Links required: 1
Most WL Lock Junior max games: 4 - Anthony Endsor, Dan Byrom, Elliott Mellor, James Laverty, Tom Cappleman
Highest average WL Lock Junior score (3+ games): 199.25 - Martin Hurst (4 games)
Highest scoring Lock Junior Weakest Link: 180 - Thomas Carey, Steve Anderson (2018)
Previous Lock Junior rounds vs this bot: 2018 - Round 6 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=2115 )
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.
Just ONE lowest scoring Weakest Link will be removed from the tournament this round and if there is a tie for lowest score then I shall allow the tied players through as it's the first round. However, any players failing to play their game within the time limit will definitely be eliminated, taking the Weakest Link spot.
The numbers by each fixture below are the total points each player has scored in the history of Weakest Link Numbers tournaments. Just for fun, they have no bearing on the outcome of the round.
