Notes from the organizer: In round eight it's over to Duckdown for a game against Apterous Caesar. In Duckdown possible targets are 101-1999 and you get 7 numbers to use rather than the usual 6, but you must "duck" (not use) one of them. Waldorf will pick just the 1 large number, and probably mostly struggle.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 57
Weakest Links required: 3
Opponent's PB: 104
Most Duckdown Strongest Links: 4 - Tom Cappleman
Highest average Duckdown WL score (3+ games): 189.8 - Florence C-L (5 games)
