Gevin Chapwell Looks like you didn't do too badly in the end.

Tim Down

Tim Down I employed the astute tactical move of messing up a couple of early ones so that Prime picked 1L rather than 3L for a while.

<< Round 13 - Instant | Round 15 - Berserk >>

Notes from the organizer: In round fourteen the remaining players will play a game in Touchdown format against Apterous Prime. Prime scores very heavily and likes 3 large numbers, which can be particularly awkward/interesting in this variant if one of the larges is repeated.

Expected competitors: 33
Weakest Links required: 3
Historic average Touchdown WL score: 160.98
Highest Touchdown WL score: 200 - Edward Ashcroft (2023)
Highest scoring Weakest Link: 147 - Tal Lessner (2023)
