 | Tom B I gave up. Wasn't ready for the leap in difficulty curve |
 | Jon Stammers Yes unlucky Tom, thanks for the warning. Several practice rounds in order for this one I think! |
 | Chris Hare If Hyperlock is turning up this early, I think we're all in trouble. |

 | Gevin Chapwell I'm looking forward to the year spoilage comes up in the first round. |
 | Owen Carroll I have a bad feeling about this… |
| Tlou Laz holy cow... that was....something |
 | Matthew Tassier A big challenge this round, but two players still managed to max it, great games from Sam and Strongest Link Elliott who sets a new record with his 6th consecutive max game at the start of a WL Numbers tournament. |
| Matthew Tassier This tricky round surprised some of the newer players with debutants Martin C and Tom B both coming up short here. With Alex absent Adam P got lucky to become the lowest scoring survivor of a Hyperlock round. So, Martin, Tom and Alex you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
Notes from the organizer: Round 6 is time for a step up in difficulty, as it will be the first time for you to attempt to hit 4 figure targets during a Hyperlock game against Apterous Prune. Picking 2 large numbers tends to be the most favoured choice in the Hyper formats, but there are other possible strategies. As it's "lock", don't forget to use your red number each time.
