Adam Dexter Think there's a mistake - it seems to say we're doing Bullet Hyper?

Chris Butler

Chris Butler Thanks your lucky stars we don't do Bullet Hyper Nasty!

..oh no, I'm giving Matthew ideas!

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Thankfully such a thing doesn't exist (yet) in the tourney creator. Although anything is preferable to spoilage...

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford i just don't wanna click play on this game i struggle enough with normal hyper!

Mike Lee

Mike Lee If you could press play and score 129 or less then I would be very grateful.

Alex Williamson

Alex Williamson Hoping I am knocked out before this point

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford happy mike?

Mike Lee

Mike Lee Thank you and happy official
Courgette day :)

Martin Long

Martin Long Shame I'm (more than likely) going out at the Speed stage. I'd have enjoyed this lol

Alex Williamson

Alex Williamson Well didn't get my wish - not looking forward to this monstrosity!

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson New personal bests!!! ๐Ÿ˜
1. Made it to Rd17.
2. Will finish 22nd or better, (Cheers Seanรญn!)

Chris Butler

Chris Butler I love your enthusiasm Eoin! Many love this tournament, but few are as vocal about it as you :)

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Yep... i probably should give it a rest! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Better to focus on more important questions, like who is gonna run the newly minted Springtime edition of WL nums? It shouldn't be Matthew... as he deserves his chance to actually compete for once!

I nominate someone who is not a massive numbers geek, but who does run a mean tourney... perhaps Andy SC or Fiona?

Thomas Carey

Thomas Carey imo tass can play this tourney if he wants, he's decent enough to win but i do'nt think that hugely matters

and this is a good shout for it, but we all know the best apto tourney is this one's weird cousin, WL Mayhem :)

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Anne Robinson playing AND hosting?! Nope. Unacceptable.

But if someone else hosts... yes.

Martin Long

Martin Long It would be amusing to see Matthew calling himself the weakest link though Eoin. I don't see any problem with Matthew hosting and playing if he wants.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier I may play one year as a bonus unfair feature, but I'm more comfortable just hosting. There's enough for me to organise/keep an eye on for it to potentially look dodgy should I do well.

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Yep it would be unfair.
Simple solution, as outlined above, is for you to partake on the Springtime edition. Only thing left to decide is who will take on the hosting duties...

Alex Williamson

Alex Williamson Thanks for hosting Matthew, really bad performance when it counted

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson I mirrored you completely, Alex. A 170 practise followed by 100 in the real thing.

Alex Williamson

Alex Williamson Ah no!! Think we're cursed

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Very well played to Florence this round for a new PB in this format and a first Strongest Link award. Meanwhile Nude confirms the difficulty of bullet hyper with 1 scoring round out of the 460 she played.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier A dramatic end to the round as Adam is saved by both the last two players failing to bring some excellent practice form into the game that mattered. However, all three at the bottom have had good tournaments with Eoin and Sean both getting further through the tournament than they previously have and Alex being this year's top newcomer. But Eoin, Alex and Sean you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye!

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Great tourney, Matthew!
Thanks for organising it ๐Ÿ˜€

Sean D

Sean D Cheers Matthew, thanks for running it!

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2022: Round 17 - Bullet Hyper

<< Round 16 - Duckdown | Round 18 - Octolock >>

Notes from the organizer: Round seventeen will be a Bullet game in Hyper format against Apterous Nude. Nude will choose just 1 large number which can be awkward (particularly now you've only got 3 seconds!), but she probably won't trouble the scorers having achieved a grand total of 10 points in 23 previous WL games in this format.

Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 23
Weakest Links required: 3
Highest average Bullet Hyper WL score (3+ games): 174 - Tom Cappleman (5 games)
Highest score: 200 - Rahul Suresh
Most Weakest Links: 2 - George Armstrong
Previous rounds vs this bot: 2020 Round 18 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=3104 ), 2016 Round 21 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=1700 )
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.

THREE 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).
