Jon Stitcher

Jon Stitcher Thanks for organising this Matthew, it's been great fun!

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier You're welcome Jon. Perhaps a little early to imply you're leaving though!

Chris Butler

Chris Butler I'd much rather be playing Rex at this than Mr 3L Prime!

Jon Stitcher

Jon Stitcher I actually did quite well on the 3L just got some nasty 1L rounds. I'd be surprised if that 110 takes me through but hope it does.

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell Well I just got 110 and 100 in a couple of practice games. Nasty rounds both times.

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell As last time, the end of my game was an absolute f***ing joke.

Callum Todd

Callum Todd bullet 3 large... oh dear.

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell 180. Nice job Callum. Not that I'm bitter but I went into my tournament game having just scored 180.

Callum Todd

Callum Todd Cheers, I went into that game speculatively hoping to just scrape past the 120 safety line but a combination of (yet more) nice selections and 2 and a half top quality extra-smooth fudges made it pretty relaxed.

Jon Stitcher

Jon Stitcher Hmm, maybe I should have practised before attempting but that's just not my style! The only round I'd planned to practise was Spoilage and now I won't get there :'(

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell Jamie French deals us another blow. Just two to play...

Thomas Carey

Thomas Carey I'm super tired and plan to stay this way until Wednesday evening so wasn't gonna play until then, but if you really want...

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier No rush! Wednesday is more than fine

JNM Rawson

JNM Rawson Has anyone ever ran a Weaklest Link tournament with a Letters Attack?

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell Not that I know of, but I might be wrong. I was thinking that for tournaments like this where players play separately, it would be good if we could use the duel mechanism for them. That way everyone gets the same rounds and also scores remain unseen until everyone has played so people can't use other people's games to determine how risky/blaggy they should be.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Personally I wouldn't want everyone to have the same rounds in this tournament. I think the way it is keeps the strongest players on their toes and is more in the Weakest Link spirit.

Zarte Siempre

Zarte Siempre ^ +1

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell Maybe but I think it would be good for the possibility to exist. I presume it doesn't currently?

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell RIP Jon. Just awaiting my fate now.

Thomas Carey

Thomas Carey Phew. Started to fall apart at the end of that one, but just about made it. Sorry Gev.

Gevin Chapwell

Gevin Chapwell Well done Thomas and everyone else who made it through.

And great tournament Matthew - I'd definitely enter another one.

I know I moaned about my rounds but everyone will have had bad rounds at some point, and it's about being good enough to make it through whatever Apterous throws at you. If I'd just got one more I'd have gone through on goal difference, and round 15 on mine was definitely doable so it was in my hands and I wasn't good enough on the day.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Thanks, Gev. Fair assessment! It's a fine line between success and failure in many rounds of this.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Amongst some strong performances that round well done to Jamie who was the Strongest Link.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier And a strong pair of numbers players fall just short here. Jon and Gevin, you are the Weakest Links. GOODBYE!

Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament: Round 19 - Bullet

<< Round 18 - Hypertouch | Round 20 - Omelette >>

Notes from the organizer: Round nineteen will be a Bullet Numbers Attack against Apterous Prime. Prime's selection of choice is 3 large numbers, but in bullet he will miss quite a few of them.
The two lowest scoring players in this round will leave the tournament. 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).
Congratulations to the final 10 who've made it through a tough field to get this far.

Ran from: 7 – 12 March 2016. Format: Bullet Numbers Attack. Matches: One-off. Approved.

Organizers: Matthew Tassier.

Fixtures: 10. Completed: 10.
