 | George Ford Highest scoring WL 160?!?! Crying |
 | Sam Shepherd To be fair, last year it was down to the top five players when bullet hyper appeared, so a very high Weakest Link score was to be expected |
| Sam Shepherd Eek, that was not so good. I expect this one will be borderline whether I make it through |

 | Adam Nicholas Jones This is going to be where I exit the tournament. It's been excellent, good luck to all. |
 | Elizabeth Beer What a shame to be kicked out right here, that is like a dagger through my heart… Thanks for hosting Tass, and I will be back a year’s worth of NA stronger… |
 | Matthew Tassier A nice 190 from Chris B scoops the Strongest Link award for this round as Tom also hits a good score to nip ahead of Elliott on total tournament points which Elliott had led for the whole tournament so far. |
| Matthew Tassier A really tight finish for the elimination spots as Elliott's huge scoring so far saves him on total tournament points ahead of Elizabeth and Adam with 5 other players in a position where one more missed round would have meant the end for them. So, creditable top 20 finishes for Elizabeth and Sam, though both would have been hoping to go even further, whilst Adam has done really well as the 2nd best debuting player this year. Elizabeth, Adam and Sam you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
| Sam Shepherd Thanks for another great tournament Matthew. Best of luck to those remaining! |
