 | Dan Southwell Skin of my teeth job!! Unlucky Tony :( |
 | Tony Atkins After three rounds that I failed due to misclicks, all I can say is the only thing worse than a misclick is a mistype followed by a misclick in the same round! |
 | Matthew Tassier 3 max games is the most we've had in a Hyper round, so well done to Matthew, Strongest Link Tom and points leader Mike. Oh, and a cool 10 max games to Waldorf, well done to him too. |
| Matthew Tassier Tony's misfortunes left him dropping just behind Dan S and Dave K on margin of defeat to join Roger and Robin in the dreaded elimination zone. So Tony, Roger and Robin you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Roger Peak Thanks for organising Matt and good luck everyone who is still in ! This is one I need to practise ! |
Notes from the organizer: With the Junior rounds completed, round eight is a step up with our first trip into the realm of larger numbers with a game in Hyper format against Apterous Waldorf. Hyper has a more generous 45 second round limit, which may come in handy as Waldorf will surprisingly max most, if not all, rounds and will choose the sometimes awkward 1 large.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 52
Weakest Links required: 3
Previous WL Hyper max games: 7
Highest average score (3+ games): 182.43 - Elliott Mellor (7 games)
Highest scoring Weakest Links: 120 - Neil Collins & Steven Grady (2023), Dave Kempshall & Arthur P (2022)
Previous Hyper rounds vs this bot: 2021 Round 6 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=3776 ), 2019 Round 8 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=2338 )

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).
