 | Martin Long I find 2L slightly easier for Aegilops and also for Nasty numbers (if they come up) but I would recommend practising with both before you play the tournament before deciding which one you prefer. |
 | Gevin Chapwell The slipstream has a big effect here so no-one wants to be first out. |
 | Elizabeth Beer I don't think that is the problem here 😂 |
 | Paul Anderson Pesky Elizabeth, you had me thinking the site was back up |
 | Rhys Benjamin Oh I'm in trouble here... |
 | Ian Volante Oh heck, what a time to have a bad game. |

 | Matthew Tassier We've not had multiple max games in the aegilops round in previous years, but here we have 3 of them, from former champions Chris B. and Elliott and Strongest Link Sam S. |
| Matthew Tassier Rhys was in trouble here until reprieved when James was unfortunately unable to play his game. Ever-present Ian and newcomers Mark and Adam P. were not so lucky and fall short of progressing. So, Mark, Ian, Adam and James you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
| Ian Volante Thanks for running. Shame to fall here as I suspect I was far ahead score-wise of any previous year. |
| Matthew Tassier Yes, I have you on 40 points better than any previous year coming into this round. |
 | Mark O'Regan Thanks Matthew - enjoyed the tourney! |
