Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament - 2024: Round 5

	Tim Down I'm living a charmed life here.
	Gevin Chapwell Early favourite.
	Tim Down I'll crumble when we get to the harder stuff.
	Chris Butler Has anyone reached 1000 after 5 rounds before?
Show all comments
	Mike Lee Looking back through the previous editions, Zarte was at 1000 in the 2017 edition so this is the second time it’s happened but no-one has gone 1200 after 6 so far.
	Tal Lessner Don't give a chance to ruin the tradition then, spoilage round 6!
	Matthew Tassier Tim completes the second ever perfect 1000 start, although this round he was pipped by Tal as the Strongest Link.
	Matthew Tassier With Colin's 170 leaving him in the bottom three, 10 other players will be relieved to survive after also finishing in the 170s. So Colin, Andy and Mich you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye!
	Andy SC Cheers for hosting, Matthew.

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament - 2024: Round 5 - Touchdown Junior

<< Round 4 - Lockdown | Round 6 - Speed >>

Notes from the organizer: It's back to a junior format for round five with a Touchdown Junior game against Apterous Plum. Touchdown is similar to standard Junior but with more chance of awkward or impossible selections, not helped here by Plum picking 5 small numbers and additionally probably solving the majority of rounds.

Some stats for this round:
Competitors: 61
Weakest Links required: 3
Historic average score: 189.30
Most Touchdown Junior WL max games: 6 - Sean D & Tom Cappleman
Lowest scoring Touchdown Junior survivors: 160 - Mike Lee & Bernard Lee (2021)
Previous rounds vs this bot: 2019 - Round 3 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=2330 )
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.

THREE lowest scoring Weakest Links will be leaving 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).
