 | Mike Lee As sure as eggs are eggs. One thing always happens every WL numbers tourney to me - and that’s Velvet coming alive and getting a PB against me. |

| Matthew Tassier The difference between success and failure is often very small in the Junior rounds, and here there are 10 players who survived by less than 10 points. This leaves 3 players leaving the tournament earlier than usual. Hazel, Marcus and Mark you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Eoin Jackson 190? |
| Matthew Tassier High scores are done on raw scores nowadays, so 197. |
| Eoin Jackson Ah of course. |
Notes from the organizer: Round five sees you playing in Unlimited Junior format against Apterous Velvet. This is essentially the same as regular Junior but with the addition of an extra large number, 20. Velvet will solve most rounds and likes to pick 2 large.
One quirk of this format is that if 20 is your target then you must still do a calculation even if there is a 20 in the selection. (e.g. do 20*1 or 20+6-6 or 4*5 etc.)
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 60
Weakest Links required: 3
Previous max games: 129
Most WL max games in this format: 6 - Elliott Mellor
Most WL points scored in this format: 1387 - Gevin Chapwell & Tom Cappleman
Previous rounds vs this bot: 2018 - Round 3 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=2107 )

The THREE lowest scoring players will leave 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 below).
