Notes from the organizer: Welcome to the 6th annual running of the Apterous Weakest Link Numbers Tournament. Last year Elliott won the tournament, fulfilling his ambition to add his name to the role of honour:
2016 - Chris Butler
2017 - Thomas Carey
2018 - Bradley Horrocks
2019 - Bradley Horrocks
2020 - Elliott Mellor

Will 2021 see Elliott defending his crown? Can one of our other previous winners return to conquer again? Is it time for a new champion? By the end of the year we will find out!

Starting with the easier variants this tournament will be a journey through apterous numbers formats with the lowest scorer(s) being eliminated each round.
One bot will be randomly chosen for each round and all players will play a numbers attack in that round's variant against that bot.
The lowest scoring player (or more likely two or three players) is knocked out each round. If there is a tie for lowest score then the tiebreaks will be:
1) Performance against opponent (i.e. margin of victory/loss over 20 rounds).
2) Total player score over all tournament rounds so far.

With the first round beginning on Sept. 6th, there should be a new round every Monday and Friday for about 3 months. Rounds will be overlapping with a two week time limit giving some flexibility in case of holidays etc. If you are going to be away from apterous for more than a week then aptomail me and you will be able to play round(s) early if necessary.
Hopefully there will again be enough participants to allow us to go through the full list of 24 recognised numbers attacks.

NOTE : Games should be played in a single sitting (barring unforeseen problems), after all there's no passing and coming back later in The Weakest Link. Any penalties for anyone repeatedly failing to do this will be at the organiser's discretion.

Whether you have designs on winning the tournament, or you're just challenging yourself to get through the first few rounds, please don't hesitate to throw your hat into the ring.
Sign-ups will remain open until the end of the first week of the first round.
All aboard!
