 | Matthew Tassier The last chance to pick up an easyish max game is taken by 27 players this round, a record for a Lock Junior round. Particularly well done to Jason C. who was the Strongest Link for the first time. |
| Matthew Tassier 180 remains the highest score by a Weakest Link in any round and it is matched here by 3 very unlucky players, any of whom could have been saved but for spots from Velvet. Among them Jamie's record of being one of only 2 players to have finished this tournament in the top 20 every year it has been played is broken. So, Jamie, Fiona and Andy you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Adam Latchford 180 for weakest link is absolutely savage ul guys |
 | Andy SC Thanks, Matthew.
|
 | Jason C. 😲 |
Notes from the organizer: Round seven is the final junior round this year as you will take on Velvet in a Lockdown Junior format game. Velvet will awkwardly pick 5 small and should find the max the majority of the time. Once again in 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.
