 | Owen Carroll If someone didn’t play before they’d of the round, would that count as being a weakest link? |
 | Adam Dexter From Round 1: However, any players failing to play their game within the time limit will definitely be eliminated, taking the Weakest Link spot. |
| Owen Carroll Thanks |
 | Matthew Tassier 3 impressive max games this round from Martin H., Tim (800/800 points so far) and Strongest Link Tom. |
| Matthew Tassier Owen's hope of escaping via an unplayed game evaporated and he becomes the highest scoring WL Lockdown departure, whilst 2 first-timers finish closely behind him. Owen, Trevor and Brian you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
