Dave Kempshall Not holding out much hope here. Think I over-estimated Velvet's skills. Could've easily settled for a couple to get 4.

Dave Kempshall Haha - unlucky mate. I had resigned myself to saying goodbye. Still a few to come through the earlier rounds, so fingers crossed.

Matthew Tassier Our Weakest Link this round ran into a perfect game from Velvet leaving him bottom thanks to last minute goals from Dave K. and Niall. Damian, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye!

Tourney round: Weakest Link Mayhem 2023: Round 10 - Apterous World Cup

<< Round 9 - Octolock 9 | Round 11 - Speed Conundrum Attack >>

Notes from the organizer: Round 10 already and this will be played in the Apterous World Cup format against Velvet. Basically that's 7 rounds of normal letters and numbers where you score 1 point if you equal or better your opponent. So it's a score out of 7 with the strong bot Velvet making things difficult in her first appearance.

One lowest scoring Weakest Link will leave the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest score then total score in the tournament so far will be the deciding factor. The current total scores are next to each player's fixture below.

Key. Green: winner. Red: loser. Grey: tie. Bold: max game. Struck-out names and scores are players who have since been deactivated. A struck-out individual score is an excluded performance.
