Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2025: Round 24 - Berserk
Notes from the organizer: This year, for the first time, the final round is going to be played in Berserk format. So that's a ridiculously short 1 second thinking time, and your opponent is Plum, who certainly won't score many points but will of course test your skills out with his 6 small selection - and if it looks tricky, do you try to change your declaration in that single second?
Let's check out the contenders:
Elliott Mellor - Cumulative points 4074, 5 times Strongest Link, 10 max games, Narrowest survival 0 points (Round 18), Berserk PB 200, 4th final appearance, Tournament best: Winner (2020), All-time points 36775.
Tom Cappleman - Cumulative points 4055, 3 times Strongest Link, 6 max games, Narrowest survival 0 points (Round 23), Berserk PB 200, 4th final appearance, Tournament best: 3rd (2016, 2019, 2024), All-time points 38179.
Dave Robjohns - Cumulative points 3973, 2 times Strongest Link, 7 max games, Narrowest survival 14 points (Round 7), Berserk PB 200, 3rd final appearance, Tournament best: 2nd (2021, 2023), All-time points 23622.
So, who will prevail? With all 3 players having plenty of experience at the pointy end of these tournaments, it's looking like an unpredictable final round. Could Elliott's previous tournament victory give him an edge this time round, or will one of his opponents finally earn that virtual trophy to place proudly on their virtual mantelpiece?
The highest scoring player in this round will be declared the 2025 champion. If there is a tie then margin of victory/defeat will be taken into account amongst tied players followed, if necessary, by total cumulative score in the tournament (see notes by matches below).
