Notes from the organizer: For round 14 the task for the remaining players is to take on a challenge in Octolock format against Waldorf. With larges of 20, 30, 40 and 50 and only 5 numbers to work with, it can often be tricky to get anywhere near your target in this variant, and your opponent will chose 1 large number which may leave you a little short of options at times. The maxes of the games will vary quite a lot this round so a bit of luck as well as a lot of skill is required! Oh, and never forget to use that red number.

Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 36
Weakest Links required: 4
Historic average score: 119.91
Highest WL Octolock score: 167 - Mervyn Tong (2016)
Most WL Octolock points scored: 1065 - Elliott Mellor
