 | Jon Elmer An absolute stinker after some fairly kind practise rounds. That's me done I think. |
 | Matthew Brockwell Yeah brutal game there, the solution for R4 has a very unusual structure! |
 | George Ford Yeah that’s actually very cool. Thanks Touchdown |
 | Chris Hare Rex has a 200 now. |
 | Chris Butler Out of interest, where do you see what a bot's high score in a particular format is? |

 | Elizabeth Beer If you play a particular bot it will tell you what your PB is, and that of your opponent/bot |
| Chris Butler Oh yeah, thanks. Is that the only way though? It's not in the records somewhere? |
 | Matthew Tassier 4 large fan George F. just misses out on a max game in his final round, but still deservedly earns his first Strongest Link title, while Elliott's 19-maxer allows him to reclaim his spot as top cumulative points scorer. Also, well played to Rex on his new PB. |
| Matthew Tassier Another competitive fight for survival sees Florence and Dan narrowly missing out as Chris H. survives by 3 points, helped by the available 200 max in his game, and Ben by just 1 point more. All 3 departees this round all leave having achieved their 4th top 20 finish. So, Dan, Florence and Jon you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Dan Byrom Thanks for organising. Fun as always :D |
Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2025: Round 19 - Touchdown
Notes from the organizer: Round 19 should be an interesting challenge for the remaining players who will be taking on Rex in a Touchdown format game. Rex will, of course, pick 4 large numbers but in this format the larges can repeat so this is a recipe for some rather tricky selections, highlighted by the fact that Rex has never hit a 200 in this.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 17
Weakest Links required: 3
Rex's Touchdown PB: 197
Highest Touchdown WL score: 200 - Edward Ashcroft (2023)
Highest average score (3+ games): 184.2 - Dave Robjohns (5 games)
Highest scoring Weakest Link: 147 - Tal Lessner (2023)
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.
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).
